Shutdown procedure

[Guest]

When I click the "turn off computer" icon, it takes a couple minutes then
comes up with a window saying "it's now safe to turnoff your computer".

Is there a way to skip this last step and have it shutdown when you click
"turn off computer"?

Hi,

Control Panel/Power options, you may need to enable APM. It is not enabled
by default during an installation.
