rather than turn it off completely. Putting the computer in standby mode
allows you to return quickly to normal computer use.

leave the Windows

power switch momentarily on the front panel of the computer).
The computer goes into standby mode.
Alternatively, you can click the Start button on the Windows taskbar, click
Shutdown, select Standby, and then click OK.
To let the computer go into standby mode automatically
Double-click the My Computer icon on your desktop. Double-click
Control Panel, and then double-click the Power Management icon. On the
Power Schemes tab, select from the options in the Power schemes
drop-down list. Then, choose settings for the power scheme you have
selected. To save the settings under a name that is not offered in the
