    That will depend on what the laptop supports in terms of power management ....

    Control Panel > Power Options > Advanced tab - Power Buttons ......

    ' When I close the lid of my portable computer' > dropdown list.

    On my HP the options are 'Standby' and 'Do Nothing' - yours may differ.

    If the option to sut down is not offered then the answer is No :)

    There is always the option to shut down using the power button ......

    'When I press the power button on my computer' > drop down list.

    With windows XP I only have "standby" and "do nothing" (hibernation option not enabled) as options but when I installed Windows Vista on the same laptop (Fujitsu Siemens Amilo Pro V2045) I also had the "Shut down" option, which worked perfectly but since now I went back to XP again I thought there might be some tweak to add the "shut down" option on closing the lid.

    Anyway its not a problem, after all just a press of the "shutdown" button will do the trick, thank you for your reply and best wishes for the new year,
