I don't have what you describe on my Dell Vista box.

If it's a default Vista setup there should be a button with an arrow
to the lower _right_ not _left_ (I'm somewhat dyslexic myself--I have
to triple check on directions sometimes) of the menu that comes up
where "start" would be on an XP box that gets the options switch user,
lock, logoff, sleep, shut down.


I don't know what the big flap is. Vista is fine with shut down as
having dyslexic fingers myself, I've had to back down from a possible
accidental shutting down of XP.

Vista has been out for a year now and I had waited 6 months before
buying a new computer with it. There were a lot of software conversion
problems and driver updatings but now system works great and I prefer to
XP pro on older computer that I still use.
