2-2
2.1.1 Turning Your Notebook On
You can configure the computer to start from a specific drive, such as a CD-ROM,
an external floppy disk, or even an external device. See
8.7 The Boot Menu .
Press the power button to turn on your notebook.
Do not turn off the computer until the operating system has loaded completely.
Turning the computer off during its initial startup will result in an error the next
time you start your notebook.
2.1.2 Turning Your Notebook Off
If your notebook uses Microsoft Windows XP Professional operating system, the
security and networking features are not available in Windows XP Home Edition.
You will see different options in some windows, related to security and networking.
Save and close any open files, exit any open programs.
Click
Start > Turn Off Computer > Turn Off .
Your notebook will automatically turn off after the shutdown process is finished.
You can configure Windows XP to shut down or go into sleep mode by pressing the
power button. Open the
Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced dialog box to
do this.
2.1.3 Logging Off
With Microsoft Windows XP, multiple users can access a single computer with their own,
personal settings. Using their own password, each user logs on to the computer, meaning
other users cannot access their settings or files. To log off:
Save and close any open files, exit any open programs, click
Start > Log Off > Log Off .
To switch users, click Start > Log Off > Switch User .
Using Fast User Switching , programs executed by previous users remain running in the
background. This means a possible slower computer response. It may also stop multimedia
programs, including games and DVD software, from running.
Fast User Switching does not work if your notebook is running Windows XP
Professional and is a member of a computer domain or if the notebook has less than
128 MB of memory.
You can set up Fast User Switching in the Control Panel dialog box, under User
Accounts: Change the way users log on or off.
