allan,
As I just wrote to Stephen, this is how my system is set by default,
already. Isn't that the default for most people, without their doing
anything?

Subject: hotkey for shutdown?
hi Daniel and all,
first of all, i need to apologize if this is a repeat posting about this
topic. To those who already know, just delete this mail and
to those don't know about this, please keep this mail for future reference.
Start from Windows ME until now windows XP, Microsoft
have include a features in control panel/power options that can allow us to
modify the power button on modern ATX tower casing. We
can choose in between do nothing, ask me what to do, stand by, hibernate and
shutdown. To make this changers, please do the steps
below:
1. go to control panel.
2. press p until "power options" and hit enter.
3. for desktop user, you will see 4 tabs that is power schemes, advanced,
hibernate and UPS. but for laptop user, you will have
more. press ctrl+tab to "advanced tab".
4. now, press tab until you here
"Power buttons, When I press the power button on my computer:" combo box
you can use arrow up/down to change the selection. the selections are:
do nothing
ask me what to do
stand by
hibernate
shutdown
so, for this purpose, you must choose the fifth option that is shutdown.
5. after you have make your desire choice, press tab to apply button and hit
space bar.
6. finally tab to ok and press enter.
from now on, if your JFW has keep it's moth shut, you can press the power
button to safely turn the system off.
note: please be careful if you have keyboard that come with a power button,
if you miss tab to that button, your system will turn
off too.

Hi,
I'm afraid I don't understand what you say, below, about the method you
figured out for yourself. Going to the control panel, and a combo box, and
having a button shut down? i don't get it. Could you try to rephrase this?
Now you've made me really curious to find out this possibly helpful
workaround. Also, by the way, I didn't know this had started with being in
an emergency cituation because Jaws had stopped.

Daniel
this thread was started by me and i had originally asked this question
because jaws had stopped talking.
i found the most helpful reply to be going to power settings in the control
panel and going to the advanced tab and using the combo box to have the
power button to shut down for me.
