Ah, yes, so he is. I can't say for sure but am guessing it links to
shutdown.exe.

OP, do a search for shutdown.exe. If you don't have it, get it - it goes in
the windows/system32 folder. There should also be a backup of it in the
windows/system32/dllcache folder.

Uninstall your "little program." If that's not possible and this program
has been installed recently you might try System Restore to take your
machine back to a date before you installed it.

Using the big button on your computer enclosure should be used only as a
last resort to turn it off.

Sometimes with setups like yours you have to hold the power button pressed
for 5 seconds or longer so it knows you want to shut down, not restart or
standby.

He's not talking about the power on button.
