I have a user that turns her Compaq Armada E500 off before she leaves work. The next morning she comes in and it has restarted. Do you know a possible solution for this?

There are several possibilities, but more often than not the problem is because "fast shutdown" is enabled.
To disable it, go to start, run, type msconfig. Choose Advanced and check the box next to Disable fast shutdown.

If this doesn't resolve the issue, this article from technet may help:

Hope this helps! Good luck....
