Auto-Power down after Shut-down (W2K)

[shanks]

hi. I've recently installed windows 2k on my computer, an upgrade from ME.
I reformatted before doing so, and set the HDD to NTFS. However, the computer doesn't power down when i tell it to shut down. It sits on the windows screen saying "it is now safe to shut down your computer".
I changed the registry autoshutdown thingy to 1 (a tweak i found on this site) but it hasn't changed any thing. any one got any other ideas?
