861678 2010-02-26 06:09:00 My son has win 2000 pro. He is inclined to leave it on with sites like MSN. Because I am anxious about my cap I go to start - shutdown. It then shuts down but restarts and then it can be on all day whilst we are at work. Can anyone help? gradebdan (2186)

Why use a simple solution? The offending PC may be operating on a battery as well. :-)

Is it set to restart by any chance?

861683 2010-03-01 19:53:00 I checked the drop down menu. It says "shutdown". Do I need to go into the startup and press f8 (I think)? .Then what would I look for? gradebdan (2186)
