Click Advanced Tab. Under ‘When I press the power button on my computer’ drop down list, choose shut down. Click Save Changes and close. You are done!
Coming to Vista, click the start button and type power options, then press Enter. In the upper left, click Choose what the power button does. Next to ‘When I press the power button’ select Shut down.
