Forum Home Off Topic Window 7 Shutdown woes... User Message Posted : Wednesday, 03 March 2010, 13:53 | Permalink | Mark Here spinal A simple question today... Does anyone know, is there a way to get win7 to do the old "Are you sure" thing before shutting down? It's all fine and well having a shutdown button directly on the start menu, but if you hit it by accident then your screwed. At least with XP it popped up further options so you could cancel the shutdown if it was a mistake. Posted : Wednesday, 03 March 2010, 14:03 | Permalink | Mark Here Afr0 WW Entries : 3 Windows 7 doesn't do that, but it'll usually pop up a dialog with programs that are currently running before shutting down if the programs aren't non-critical (I think Windows 7 detects that they might have unsaved data or something). That way you can prevent it from shutting down. ----- The PUA Field Guide Afr0 Games Posted : Wednesday, 03 March 2010, 14:11 | Permalink | Mark Here Jayenkai WW Entries : 103 Winkey, type the name of the program. It tracks your recent proggies so learns its own shortcuts, eg i can type 'so' to open the mudchat, or 'sou' to open 'sound editor - cooledit' helps if you rename all those messy start menu proggies!! And also avoids all mouse usage around that big red button! ----- Posted : Wednesday, 03 March 2010, 14:22 | Permalink | Mark Here Stealth Change the button to a sleep action, so you have to use the arrow flyout menu to hit shut down. This way if you accidently hit it, no big deal. ----- Andrew // stealth Posted : Wednesday, 03 March 2010, 14:34 | Permalink | Mark Here JL235 WW Entries : 7 I'm with Stealth, don't shut down just sleep instead. I'll start back up within a sec or two. I don't know how to turn the Windows Desktop shutdown confirmation window on, but you could turn the Windows Server shutdown confirmation window on by following this guide (it's to disable the 'Shutdown Event Tracker', but you'll want to enable it instead at the end). ----- StudioFortress.com - OpenGL games in your browser, Blog, Twitter.
