Turning Off the Computers Not As Easy as Flipping the Switch!
When you leave or end a work session, you must click on the
START button to access the log off option:
NOTE: It is best to learn early how to properly close applications
and the computer itself. Cutting off power without shutting down
properly may result in corruption to files on the network.
RESTART is what you will select when you are finished
using a particular machine but do not need to power it down. RESTART
logs off the current user, "refreshes" itself, and prepares
a login screen for the next user. Select the start button then
select restart from the drop down menu.
SHUT DOWN is to be selected at the end of the day. It
will perform the software shut down operations, and will power-down
the machine. Select the start button then select shut down from
the drop down menu.
Closing up for
the day?
Finished with a
Particular Machine?
Not sure if the
computer is off or just sleeping?
Then SHUT DOWN. This
turns the power off.
Then RESTART. The
machine is in "sleep" (powersaving) mode, but not
completely off.
Then JIGGLE the mouse
or press any key. If the machine does not respond, power it
up.

and the computer itself. Cutting off power without shutting down
properly may result in corruption to files on the network.
