I right-click on desktop and properties is no longer there. I don't
want my
PC shutting off when it's defragging or I have to work with a client or
be
on the phone. The frustration doesn't end.....


If you click on the start orb type "power" and run "Power Options"

There is NO "power" or "Power Options" when I click on Start in Home
Premium. What version are you talking about?


Did you type "power"?


Where does it say "Power" when the Start button is clicked? There is no
"orb." What is an "orb?" Type "power" where?


There is no start button in Vista, rather, there is a blue circle with a
Windows logo called the "Orb"

After clicking the Orb, the default focus is on the Search field, into
which you can type what you're looking for and Vista will generally find
it, especially for programs and various Vista functions, as well as the
entire search index.

Failing all of that, go to Control Panel, find "power" and start from
there.

In my Version, with classic view, there is a *START* button where it was in
W95,W98,WXP and now Vista.


After clicking the Orb, the default focus is on the Search field, into
which you can type what you're looking for and Vista will generally find
it, especially for programs and various Vista functions, as well as the
entire search index.


There is NO ORB. There is a start button in Classic View and nowhere to
type in the word "Power."




Failing all of that, go to Control Panel, find "power" and start from
there.

If you change options from defaults then you need to adjust
appropriately when receiving assistance, or at least make said
configuration known.

I've literally never tried classic mode for Vista's start menu.

The bozo never would have thought of that on his own... just as he
hasn't thought of ANYTHING on his own. I doubt that he even
understands what you're telling him.

He's a mindless twit.

In the control panel, switch to classic. You can find it in display or
help - power management.
