Sandy, you can do either way... most of the times I just shut down the
computer straight away. It takes longer, but I never had any problems.

Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Resources in XP? And How To Turn Off PC At
Night?
it might be closer to anything else i've seen, altho i don't really
understand it...................in Me it showed "resources" like if you
started out with 80% of your resources that day, you could check back if the
system was slowing down and usually it would be like 30% or sometimes if I
tried to open a program up it would just pop up on it's own and say that i
was dangerously low and had only 1% of my resources left and I knew to get
out of everything and reboot. I just clicked on the "windows" key and
"pause/break" and I believe one of the tabs was resources, or maybe it was
something I clicked on from the properties tab (i forget now, lol)
Well let me ask you guys/gals another question. When you turn off your pc
for the night (that is IF you do, lol) do you ctrl/alt/delete and close out
of stuff that way first? I just hit the red x's in whatever i was in and go
to start>turn off compuer>turn off. But I really have never known if that
was right or not?
