The default setup of VB mode assumes that the PC provides a safe switch-off button that the user can press to switch the machine off at any time without risk to Windows. If this is not the case, or for any other reason you require the user to be able to control the PC shutdown process from the keyboard, you can modify the "vb_mode_on.reg" file to incorporate a shutdown facility. This could be a single key combination that shuts the system off without asking questions or displays a confirmation box, or a menu of choices enabling the user to press a letter to chose whether to turn the PC off or restart it. Restarting can always be a useful option if for any reason the system is behaving unexpectedly and the user is unsure what to do, and the computer can be restarted by pressing Ctrl+Alt+F10; this system hotkey is set up by the WTC installation wizard, and is allowed through by the default VB emulator settings.
