    Yes, click "windows" the sign like a "window" on the lower left keyboard, then using the "arrow" keys moving the highlight to shut down.

    No, you have to manually tell Windows to shut down.

    I can shut down my computer (I'm running XP) by pressing the Windows key (located between the Ctrl and Atl keys on the bottom left) then pressing Alt + U twice.

    Hit the Windows key and you can also log off by pressing Alt + L.

    Whenever you see a letter underlined, you can hit Atl + that letter and it will execute the command. Or lets say, it has always worked for me that way.

    Is that what you meant?
