Title: Understanding Shut Down Options in Windows 7


1
Understanding Shut Down Options in Windows 7
2
Option No. 1 Shut down
If you click the Shut down button itself, without
clicking the triangle and opening the other
options, Windows 7 ends all current processes and
shuts down the computer completely. You would
normally do this to turn off your work computer
at the end of the day, or your home computer
before going to bed.
3
Option No. 2 Restart
The Restart button "reboots" your computer (it is
sometimes called a "warm boot" or "soft boot.")
That means it saves your information to the hard
drive, turns off the computer for a moment, then
turns it back on again. This is most often done
after fixing a problem, adding a new program, or
making a configuration change to Windows that
requires a restart. Restarts are often needed in
troubleshooting scenarios. In fact, when your PC
does something unexpected this should always be
your first recourse to try and solve the problem.

Avg is a well- known name in the field of virus
protection. The reason for which this name is
avg.com/retail common among all end users is its
free antivirus and malware protection.It not only
sounds avg.com/retail free but it provides a lot
more with no money. It scans for virus and
malware.

Option No. 3 Sleep 
Clicking on Sleep puts your computer into a
low-power state, but doesn't turn it off. The
main advantage of Sleep is that it allows you to
get back to work quickly, without having to wait
for the computer to do a full boot, which can
take several minutes. Normally, pressing the
computer's power button "wakes it up from Sleep
mode, and it's ready to work within
seconds. Sleep is a good option for those times
when you'll be away from your computer for a
short period. It saves power (which saves money),
and allows you to get back to work quickly. Keep
in mind, however, that it does slowly drain the
battery if you're using a laptop and are low on
power, this mode could eventually result in your
computer turning itself off. In other words,
check how much battery power your laptop has left
before going into sleep mode.
6
Option No. 4 Hibernate 
7
Hibernate mode is sort of a compromise between
the Shut down and Sleep modes. It remembers the
current state of your desktop and fully shuts
down the computer. So if, for instance, you have
open a web browser, a Microsoft Word document, a
spreadsheet, and a chat window, it would turn off
the computer, while remembering what you were
working on. Then, when you start up again, those
applications will be waiting for you, right where
you left off. Convenient, right? Hibernate mode
is intended mainly for laptop and netbook users.
If you'll be away from your laptop for an
extended period and are worried about the battery
dying, this is the option to choose. It doesn't
use any power, but still remembers what you were
doing. The downside is you will have to wait for
your computer to boot all over again when it's
time to get back to work. There you have it.
The four shut down modes in Windows 7. It's a
good idea to experiment with the various shut
down modes and learn what works best for you in a
given situation.
