TSGL: Vista Shutdown Question

[Trio800_BonBon]

If you have a recent computer, you can use the "Sleep" 
or "power" Button on your computer (whichever your 
keyboard has) to shut down the computer.  But you must 
go into the bios setup screen at bootup to configure 
your keyboard to sleep or power down.

I set up my computer to power up by pressing any key on 
the keyboard and to power down by pressing the sleep 
button. My wife's computer uses her "power" button to 
both turn on and turn off the computer.

It's a lot easier  then the method you're using.

Different motherboards probably have different options.
