| A term
used to describe the process of closing all software
programs in
preparation to turn off a computer's power. The operating system is generally the last
program to be closed and it is highly recommended that all computers
properly be shut down before being turned off to help prevent data
corruption.
Microsoft
Windows 95 and above includes a
Shut Down option available through the Start
menu that helps the user properly shut down his or her computer.
- See our shutdown command page
for additional information about the command line shutdown command.
- If you're encountering issues with Windows not shutting down see

additional help and information.
