How can I make XP sp2's cursor default to the "turn off" button instead of
the "stand by" button when I am trying to shut down. When I hit Start...Turn
off Computer the cursor always goes to Stand By. I want it to go to Turn Off.

TIA

Press "T" in the dialog window. You cannot change the default, but
this may help for you.

thanks--unfortunately cold and rainy now.

I don't see the widespread appeal of Stand By being the default. It would
seem that Turn off is mostly what people going to that window want.
Is it possible the create a desktop shortcut that with one click shuts the
machine down?
Is there maybe a registry setting that would change the default?

John,

Create a shortcut with target:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 0
