Under Exit a session, you can specify which action should be taken when you click the Exit a session
button. By default, the computer is shut down.
For the Hibernate and Power save modes, the current status, including all opened documents and
programs, is preserved so that after switching your computer back on you can continue working right
where you left off. Whereas power save mode still requires a small amount of power, in hibernate mode
the computer can be completely disconnected from the power supply. However, putting the computer
into hibernate mode and then "waking" it will take much longer.
Alternatively, you can specify here that this button causes the computer to restart, the computer to be
locked, the current user to be logged off, or that the user should be changed. Simply decide based on
your preferences.
Note than when an update is ready for installation, this button is temporarily assigned to the Shut
down computer function (until the update has been installed). This ensures that key program updates
are not accidentally forgotten.
Vista only:
Under Power off button you can set what action is to be carried out when you click on the Power off
button. By default, the computer is put into Power save mode.
If you would prefer to shut down your computer quickly (or you are missing this function entirely in
Windows Vista), you are advised to select Shut down computer. This saves you from having to open
the submenu and selecting Shut down there. The third option is to put your PC into hibernate mode.
