I have had to reinstall NT 4.0 WS on my optiplex gx1, since I have done so the machine will not "power down after shutdown" correctly. I went into the registry and made the appropriate changes to the "PowerdownAfterShutdown: reg_sz 1" which added the option but, when it powers off it will power back on. I did a little research and found out there has been similar problems with Compaq laptops and NT's HAL. I would like the machine to shut off completely. Can you tell me how to make it do this without pressing the power button?

According to my knowledge NT doesnot support power down after shutdown even if the system has the support as your system has it. We also have the same system. The feature is supported in windows 95/98/2000 hence it works on the machines of the same type where these 3 OS is loaded.
