How can I change the settings Windows XP Pro so it stops completely rather than go into sleep mode?

I run Windows XP Pro and am fed up with my PC, switch to 'sleep' mode when I told him to stop.  How can I change the settings so it stops completely instead of sleep mode? Please do not assume that I know computers - a complete manual would be better. Thank you very much.

Hello Cosmicbbb,

Thank you for your message.  If you want to withdraw your option set to the option "Turn off computer", you can make the following registry edit.
Click Start > click Run > type regedit and press "Enter."
Navigate to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\ACPI\Parameters.
Right-click in the empty space in the right pane and select new | DWORD value.
Attribute value name
Then, double-click attributes
Make sure hexadecimal is selected by breaking 70
Click OK, close the registry editor and restart.
Now when you choose to stop the computer in the start menu in XP, you will not be able to choose the day before by accident.
Change the settings of the REGISTRY can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from starting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that problems resulting from the REGISTRY settings configuration can be solved. Changes to these settings are at your own risk.
Please let us know if it did or did not help to solve your problem.
See you soon
