   I'd wish it didn't say "Saving Settings" when turning off the pc.   
      
   As much as I fiddle around and making mistakes I'd rather the OLDER   
   setting be retained instead of overwriting them with the mistakes I've   
   made during a session.

   Nope!, Hibernate writes everything to the HDD and turns the box OFF.   
      
   After POST I still have to Log On to the account I want to use.   
   But I get to Log On much sooner, than being scanned by MS's Cyborg.
