Lesson 15: Turning off your computer
It is very important that you let the Windows
®
XP operating
system shut down your computer. As it shuts down, the
operating system performs a number of tasks that ensure that
everything is in place the next time you turn on the computer.
To let the operating system shut down your computer, see
“Using Turn Off or Shut down” on page 98.
There are other ways to shut down your computer. For more
information, see “Powering down the computer” on page 95.
