hey hp, i have had to close each app individually. on top of that, sometimes a couple of the programs won't close, even with 2 attempts, and a separate dialog pops up directing me to close the program there because it is not responding. somewhat frustrating, but seems to be the only way to go that i've been shown. use 'end task'. 'shut down' will shut the puter down. i'm referring here to the close program dialog that pops up when you press ctrl + alt + delete. :) mark
