#WINDOWS XP SHUTDOWN PC#

(If you use this feature, you know who you are.) When you choose it, your terminal session disconnects, but the server remembers what you were doing.

#WINDOWS XP SHUTDOWN PC#

(The PC doesnвЂ™t restart.)Дisconnect appears as an option only if your computer is connected to a Windows 2000 Server machine thatвЂ™s running Terminal Services. Log off quits all programs, disconnects from the network, and then displays the Welcome screen so that the next person can log in. (You might do this to вЂњrefreshвЂќ your computer when you notice that itвЂ™s responding sluggishly, for example.) Restart quits all open programs, then quits and restarts Windows again automatically. (If that makes the PC sleep or hibernate instead, see Section 8.20.1.1.) You donвЂ™t have to open the Start menu to turn off the computer. Most modern PCs then turn off automatically. Shut down quits all open programs (or, in some cases, prompts you to do so), offers you the opportunity to save any unsaved documents, and then exits Windows. Section 8.20.4 has the details on these extra features. You can even make it so that the computer wonвЂ™t wake up again unless you type in a certain password. ItвЂ™s worth noting, however, that you can set the computer to stand by automatically whenever you havenвЂ™t used the mouse or keyboard for a while. Use Standby when you want to put your computer to sleep on cue. And best of all, Standby mode consumes only the barest trickle of battery power. When the flight attendant hands over your microwaved chicken teriyaki, you can take a food break without closing all your programs or shutting down the computer. If youвЂ™re using a laptop on battery power, Standby is a real boon. To be absolutely safe, save your open documents before putting the PC in Standby. If your computer loses power, you lose all of the information that was stored in memory. This information is stored only in memory, not on your hard drive.
