Laptop shutdown question "Barry" <Barry[ at ]austin.rr.com> 12/1/2008 7:54:12 PM I have a Dell Inspiron 1720, came with Vista.. I removed Vista and installed Winxp Pro. "love it".. Well anyway, I was wondering if under power options, The only 2 choices for closing the lid are "do nothing", and "stand by".... Is it possible to have additional option added "Shutdown".. It's still a great trade off, even if it's not possible.. Just wondering... Thanks Barry Austex
