Ten Steps to
Trouble-Free Computing

Step 10: Shut Down Gracefully
Windows 95/98/ME/XP, Windows Vista, Windows 7, and the Mac OS all provide a menu-driven method to shut down your computer. Don't ignore these methods. Turning off power to your system while it is still running can be a disaster. Give your system the time it needs to flush caches, close files, and save configuration information before you pull the plug.

To Turn off Windows 95/98/ME/XP/Vista/7 computers, click on Start, Shut Down, and choose Shut Down and click OK.
