I am running Windows Vista 64 Bit clean install. I noticed that when I click
Start> Shutdown the SLEEP is always the default. Even if I previously choose
shutdown or restart. I have also noticed this on a Vista Home Basic 32 bit
version. I have played with the power adjustment settings and schemes. No
luck. Where can I tell Vista to display the previous shutdown command like
XP/Win2k does?

Re: Sleep being the default Shutdown setting

So far as I know, you can't. Do I like it? No. But I now do all my shutdowns
via command line anyway, so it's a whole lot less of an issue. ;)

Re: Sleep being the default Shutdown setting

Hi Mike

I don't know how to do the previous shut down thing, but you can change it
to your preferred setting.
From my notes:
5/25/2007
The Vista default for shut down is sleep to change this open control panel
select power
then on the select your preferred plan 'change plan settings'.
Select change advanced power settings then
Click the Plus in front of Power Buttons and lid then the plus
in front of Start Menu Power button and change to shut down.
