DEan, that doesn't make sense in a way. I can't imagine why you'd
have more than one type of shutdown. I understand several methods
such as using the menu or keyboard, but if these mean different
things to the os, I wonder if that's documented somewhere and what
the purpose is. If its not, perhaps this is a question for Apple or a
bug report which at times can get issues like this straighten out.
Btw, I'll mention here that the team that sorts through the bugs are
very good about getting back to you and they are looking into my hub
issue and requested additional information. Its nice to see they are
so responsive.
I'll have to try clearing my recent items list and see what happens.

Hello everyone,
More on my problem with the Clear Items Menu. I found a \solution,
but perhaps not the best answer to my problem, just in case anyone
else is having this problem.
There are several types of shutdowns. I have the standard Apple
keyboard, the one that has Escape, F1-F16, Volume keys, Audio Mute,
and Eject along the top. Based on that, I'll list the different
shutdown options.
1. Selecting shutdown from the Apple menu by using VO Keys M.
2. Control-Option-Command-Eject on the upper right of the Apple
keyboard directly above the Number Pad.
3. Holding in on the power button till the unit shuts down. A
forced shutdown.
4. The one that works the best. Control-Eject, then follow the menu
to either Sleep, Shutdown, Restart or Cancel. This means the
Eject key on the upper right of the Apple Keyboard directly above
the Number Pad. This one always works after using the Recent Items
menu and the Clear menu option. After rebooting, the items are
always cleared. But if any of the other shutdown options are used,
it usually doesn't work.
Just thought you might like to know.
