I was helping a friend who?d just acquired her first
computer, an E-Machine with Windows XP.

I was demonstrating how to get help, and showed how
she could type in a search phrase and get a list of
all the help topics containing that phrase. So, to
demonstrate how to properly shut down the computer, I
entered the search phrase ?Turn Off.? Sure enough, all
the help topics containing that phrase appeared, and I
selected the?Turn Off The Computer? topic. Here are
the instructions which appeared under that topic:

?Click Start, click Shut Down, and then in the
drop-down list click Shut Down?

The only part of that instruction which is correct is
?Click Start.?

o There is no Shut Down option under Start. It?s
called ?Turn Off Computer.?

o There is no drop-down list under the ?Turn Off
Computer? dialog. Instead, there are 3 buttons.

o There is no button option under ?Turn Off Computer?
called ?Shut Down? Instead there are three button
options: ?Stand By?, ?Turn Off?, and ?Restart.?
