I think what the problem is here is the default behavior of the ACPI shutdown (aka, what the computer does when the ATX/style power button is pressed.)
Windows, by default, shuts down the PC. You can change the behavior of what happens when you press the power button. It's in the control panel, search for "power button" and you'll find it. --Matt Ross Ephrata School District ----- Original Message ----- From: Mike Hoffman [mailto:[email protected]] To: NT System Admin Issues [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Wed, 21 Nov 2012 10:18:03 -0800 Subject: RE: Window 8 on your PC > They introduce something called an ATX power supply at about the same time > as NT3.51.
