WinMe: How to disable fast shudown??

[DieselMan]

Hi, I always had that problem with windows 98 when shutting down the computer (would never turn off properly until I hold the power key); I fixed this by disabling fast shut down (IN windows 98, you just go to accessories->system tools->system information->tools->system configuration utility -> advanced). But I can't seem to find this option in WINME even though I have the same problem. Someone please help!

I recall reading about this, can't remember where though, that Microsoft took out the FastShutDown in WinMe....I sure someone can explain more on this....

hi,
If u are telling that WinMe is not shutting down properly and Scandisk starts itself in bootup even if shut normally,THEN

You should not that it is a bug in Win ME that was announced some days
back ,Even i had the same problem ,Then When i read it somewhere i was sure that it wasnt only me who was affected!

I hope this helps! iddnt get ur question quite well! Be clear

No, scandisk does not start after reboot. I read about that problem, but this doesn't affect me. I just want to know how to do the "disable fast shutdown" that win98 had.
