Can I bring up the "Turn Off Computer" options like on windows XP, on windows 7

[Duffy_One]

I am fairly new to Windows 7. I grew up on Windows 98/2000/XP. Windows 7 is really different when it comes to the smaller features. On every computer I have owned, The sleep button on the keyboard would bring up the 3 options to either hibernate, shut down or restart.

Is it possible to make Windows 7 do this?



Thanks for any replies

goto control panel > power Option then click on the left side the "choose what power button do" you should have a setting there to configure it the way you want.

Click start. Next to the search box should be an option to either switch user, shutdown,... click the arrow on the right side of the button to get the other options.

Hawkeye22, i know that much, i am wanting to be able to just press a button on my keyboard and have it shut down.

and qazzi, the option to shut down is not there.

though luck in win 7 that's the only option. maybe it's a driver for your keyboard that has the 3 option you talking about.

Press Alt+F4 while looking at the desktop, this will bring up a menu which will allow you turn off, hibernate, sleep, etc.
