4 Log Off the System from the Desktop

You have probably already realized that you can shut down the system as you log off by selecting the Shutdown option in the Logoff dialog box. You can also shut down the system from the Logon Manager.

Open Actions Menu

Select the Logon Manager's Actions menu. The Shut Down the Computer option is selected by default.

Shut Down Computer

Click OK, and the computer shuts down.

Tip

NLD shuts down one system level at a time, and each of these levels is noted on the text screen that appears as the system goes through the shutdown process. Wait until all the NLD processes have been terminated before shutting down older computers that do not automatically shut down. Otherwise, you can lose data or corrupt the system files.
