WinLogon "Shutdown and Power Off" Menu Option| Article ID | : | 140779 | | Last Review | : | October 31, 2006 | | Revision | : | 1.1 |
This article was previously published under Q140779 SUMMARY
The Windows NT 3.5x Resource Kit states on page 632 of Volume 1 that you
can change the Registry setting for "PowerdownAfterShutdown" so that a new
entry - "Shutdown and Power off" - appears on the WinLogon menu.
If you change this entry and select the new option from the menu, the
machine performs a "Shutdown and Restart" and does not power off the
system. This occurs even if the machines BIOS supports Plug and Play
power down options such as the ones in Win95.
MORE INFORMATION
The OEM would have to write their own HAL to support this option. Setting
the registry value enables the system to send the HAL a power down
request. The x86 MS supplied HALs do not know what to do with the request.
(we do not call BIOS at anytime after initial boot). It is intended for
an OEM who has supplied a HAL which can support the power down request.
APPLIES TO| • | Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 3.51 | | • | Microsoft Windows NT Workstation 4.0 Developer Edition | | • | Microsoft Windows NT Server 3.51 | | • | Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Standard Edition |
