3.4.5 Dual-State Power Button
With Advanced Configuration and Power Interface (ACPI) enabled for Windows 2000 and
Windows XP, the power button can function either as an on/off switch or as a suspend button.
The suspend feature does not completely turn off power, but instead causes the computer to enter
a low-power standby. This allows you to quickly power down without closing applications and
to quickly return to the same operational state without any data loss.
To change the power button’s configuration, complete the following steps:
1. In Windows 2000, left click on the
Start Button,
then select
Settings > Control Panel >
Power Options.
In Windows XP, left click on the
Start Button,
then select
Control Panel > Power
Options.
2. In the
Power Options Properties,
select the
Advanced
tab.
3. In the
Power Button
section, select the desired power button setting.
