Shutting Down?
 

Been having a problem with my mouse pointer just disapearing from the screen requiring a reboot,with no mouse pointer I cannot call up the task manager to shut down or shut down in the normal way by clicking on shut down or restart,all i can do is hit the reset button,is there no other way of shutting down XP ? because it seems to take forecver to reboot after a reset,it wants to boot into safe mode run scan disc ect.
Not a big problem,twill probably be solved by buying a new mouse,but the thought struck that there shoul be some other way of shutting down that does no require the mouse.
:confused:

Normally the second button from the left at the bottom (with the Microsoft Windows 'icon') labelled 'start' and then press 'u'

Whey man yer yer reet!buggah me!! all these years pottering about with puter an I didn't know that.
Thank you Mr BOAC
