turn off button

Anyone else having this problem? A few of the WB that i have downloaded has no turn off button on the start menu. I'm clicking like crazy on the start menu thinking that it is hidden somewhere but it is not. So i have to turn off my computer from the power button on the tower.

What OS are you using? 

 It may be these are XP only skins or you have the wrong substyle selected. While many, if not most XP WB's will look ok on Win7 for the most part, there may be some anomalies like you mentioned.

No.... No you don't have to.
The magic lies in ALT+F4

Ctrl-Alt-Del works a lot better and faster Snowie. :)

A little more emphatically... you really want to avoid doing that.  It will trash out your system at some point.  It's a last resort.

Yep. You might as well just yank the plug out of the wall, same result. ;)

Exactly right. It creates a disk error everytime that it's done and what's even worse is it has a cumulative effect that eventually permanently destroys disk sectors that cannot be recovered.       -- Ace --

No, not really, because you have to do the key combo -> reach for the mouse and click the button.

ALT+F4 -> enter = way faster.

(Assuming any normal person closes all running programs prior to shutting down computer)

As you are the only one reporting an issue like this, it must be something causing it that is unique to your system yokustormy, possibly some settings or software you have installed?  Aragon has been fully tested in Windows 7 and no one else is reporting any issues at all. As to what the problem may be though, I have no idea. :S
