Shut down Vista

Hi All,

In some cases I may loose the video and I need to shut down Vista without
seeing the actual screen.

When it gets to the log in screen what combination of keys can I use to do
so.

Thanks,

Eric

If you press the main power button on your computer, then it should shutdown
the machine.

I want to shut down the computer properly if possible.

It should shut it down properly via that method if you press it once
briefly - in contrast to holding the button down for a few seconds, which
turns off the machine unceremoniously. Try it and see.

To answer your actual question:

Pres the Windows key, then right arrow three times, then 'u'.

Try it when you have visibility to see how it goes :-)
