Just did my first build with XP SP2 and when I choose to shut-down I have to press the power button when it gives the ok...How do I set it to shut down through windows???

Click Start, click Control Panel, click Performance and Maintenance, and then click Power Options. There should be settings there for standby, hibernate, power saving etc.
