Windows Vista tips & tricks: How to change the "sleep" button into "shutdown" butt

**Anilrgowda** · 14-Jan-2007, 12:12 AM

Starting today, I'm starting with tips and tricks on Windows Vista.

Up first, changing the sleep button in the start menu into the standard shutdown button. Personally, I always unplug my PC when not home, so setting the PC to sleep is of no help at all. On the other hand, Sleep has become the default button in favor of the shutodwn button. I've now changed that, and here's how...
1. Open the Control Panel and click the "Power Options" icon.
2. here you can select the Power Plan that you want to use. Click on "Change plan settings".
3. Click on Change advanced power settings, then double click on "Power buttons and lid".
4. Double click on "Start menu power button", change the Setting to Shutdown.
