I do not know how to do that however. > Jon, Open the Microsoft System Information app, tool on the 'tools' menu, then scroll down to 'System Configuration Utility', then click on the 'advanced' button on the lower right and a window will open allowing you to enable or disable fast shutdown... You can access this app by typing msconfig at the command line or you can find this app by going to: accessories/system tools/system information. Good Luck, Greg
