Win Xp Pro

It sure is, just make sure your computer supports ACPI. Go to Device Manager (Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager). Expand the 'Computer' entry and see if it mentions ACPI. If it just says 'Standard PC' then unfortunately it's probably not supported. If it does say ACPI then it should already be shutting off automatically!

See M S KB article Q310117 (http://support.microsoft.com/search/preview.aspx?scid=/search/viewDoc.aspx?docID=KC.Q310117%26dialogID=10122011% 26iterationID=3%26sessionID=anonymous|8941186%26ur l=kb;en-us;) It gives instructions on how to disable this option, enabling it is just the opposite.
