| Red Button - First Screen Turn on computer. On the very first screen, where you enter your password to continue (if you use a password) there is a red box on right bottom of screen that lets one turn off computer/shut down before continuing - if one wanted to. Does anyone know how to turn this on or off - place it on screen or take it off screen. The very, very, very first screen page. I am not sure if it is set to be on by default or off by default - or even if all versions of Vista have it. Thank you. |

| It is on by default, and it can't be removed. The screen you are refering to is the 'login screen'. It is exactly the same screen you find if you press 'Log Out' within Vista. I can think of reasons why it is there. For instance someone without an account wanting to safely turn off an unused PC. But I can't think of a reason to remove it... why do you want to? crabby |

| Reason for question. One of my Dell Vista desktop computers has it, one does not. My only deduction is that somehow it was turned off or never turned on. I never turned it off and it does not show up on one of my desktops. I would like to put in on or turn it on on the desktop that does not have it. |

| It isn't there? Then how does one switch off the PC without logging in?! :scared: Ok, I 'll have to have a look around for you.  What versions are each PC? I presume both came preinstalled? crabby |

Sorry, and thanks for looking. My mistake. It is there. I either have 'oldtimers desease' or a lack of good memory or both. Sometimes my mind wanders and I have one heck of a time finding it again! | |

| If you use a PASSWORD to Login the RED BOX is there. If you do not use a PASSWORD to login the RED BOX is NOT there. I do not use a PASSWORD so the RED BOX is NOT THERE.
