Closing down procedures

Just as there is a correct way of starting up, there is also a correct way of closing down.

• Click on the Start Button and choose Shut Down.

The Shut Down dialog box will be displayed, as shown below.

You will see that there are little circles beside each of the choices. These are known as radio buttons. A black dot in the circle beside ‘Shut down the computer’ shows that this option has been selected.

• Check that you have selected this option and click on Yes to close the system down.
  
• Follow any extra messages displayed on the screen.
