Same here. IIRC, XP Home uses the different terminology and buttons instead of a drop-down. Apparently, it uses the same documentation though.

Phil Heron -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:framers-bounces+phil.heron=coda.com at lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Daniel Emory Sent: 10 March 2006 16:56 To: Framers List Cc: Free Framers List Subject: OT: Unbelievable On-Line Help Stupidity 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."
