Shutdown XP

With Win98SE on my old machine I had the possibility of shutting down the machine by these keystrokes (I'm a keyboard user most of the time) Winkey+UpArrow+Enter+Enter or Winkey+U+Enter. The machine was sensible enough to remember what I selected last time (ie among standby, shutdown, reboot etc) and shutdown. In XP however I find that Winkey+U brings up the shutdown options alright but I have everytime to hit the RightArrow to select Shutdown, or move the mouse around. Why doesn't it remember my previous selection? Any suggestions? Thanks in advance
 
It might just be specific to my computer but I can shut down Windows XP by simply pressing the power button on my tower case, XP automatically launches the shutdown procedure.

Just give the button one press, do not hold the button in to force shutdown.
 
Thanks

Thanks all. That was useful, though I still don't understand why Microsoft has changed a lot of default settings...

Also Hi EP and people. I found this place again while looking through a oooollllllldddd backup. I have filled over 10TB and was looking at my collection of antiques. Any bids on the 500Mhz Win 95 fix?
Any of the SP crew still out there?

Impressed you have kept this alive this long EP! So many sites have come and gone. :(
