Just because you don't know how to do it doesn't mean it can't be done.
I've just done it in 2 different manners and it's as simple an
operation as can be. It's almost as easy as installing with the CD boot
execpt you have to do the diskette shuffle dance.

Hi John,

I'm glad their are others around like yourself willing to correct
BLATANT mis-information of this type.

We still seem to get the occasional 'expert' who suffers from what I
call 'peditis' - ie: only stops talking long enough to pull one foot out
of their mouth and insert the other one !

Oh - BTW, just so this post isn't total frivolity, I've just added a
heap more detail into the software power off page relating to laptop PCs
- your comments welcomed.

Looks good, but I have to add that I have little experience with
laptops. I like that you have given workarounds along with the proper
warnings for those who might want to have the feature on their machines.
I think the last time we discussed this I mentioned that my old Dell
Optiplex 300's rely on a Dell utility (pssvc.exe) to do the shutting
down. The service is set to start in the HKLM CurrentControlSet when
the pc boots. I found that out when one day a long while back I
disabled the service. I thought it was a Microsoft patch for Outlook
but after I disabled it my pc's lost the ability to auto shutdown.

Very simple, it is NOT possible to install NT by copying the i386 folder to
the hard drive!!!!

You don't know what you are talking about. I just did it less than 24
hours ago. Why don't you get an NT4 disk and try it for yourself. At
this juncture I would have to think that you have never used, let alone
install NT4 on a computer.
