I’m using Windows 7 and know that I can use the
Windows Start menu to shut down my computer (there’s irony in that
configuration, isn’t there?) but I generally want to Sleep, rather than Shut
Down. I found that I can click the little arrow and see other options besides
Shut Down, but since I always want to Sleep, it would be easier if Sleep was
the default option. Is that possible?
This is a very simple thing
to change on your Windows 7 system, and if I remember correctly, there are
similar options for Windows Vista and XP. To set this up, rather than clicking
on the Start button, right-click instead. This action opens a dialog box that
has three Tabs: Taskbar, Start Menu, and Toolbars. Select the Start Menu tab.
You’ll see an option to alter the Power Button Action—the default should either
be Shut Down (or whatever you last selected for this option, if you already
altered it). Click on the down-arrow to display the list of options, and select
the action that you’d like as the default, such as Sleep. Click OK to accept
your choice.
Now when you go to the Start
button, your new choice will appear to the right of the Search box along with
the arrow giving you the other choices. This should solve your problem and save
you those extra keystrokes.
Listen to the radio audio.
