Since the last time I brought this up (turning off the option that makes the computer turn back on if the power goes out momentarily, which is like the dumbest idea ever), I was using another computer with Vista. I anticipated the power going out with this sleet and freezing rain, so I checked the BIOS and... no dice. It wasn't in the power management or whatever it was, anyway. I looked around in Windows 7, wherever I thought I might find an option to turn it off, but couldn't find anything. Of course, I tried to look it up via search engine, but all I got were stuff about stopping the restart after an update; not what I wanted at all. ;/
I was hoping that someone knew how to make my computer stop trying to turn itself back on when the power goes out, because it often seems that -- when there's an issue with the power -- it goes in and out before it decides to stay on or off, and it worries me when the computer tries to turn back on during the short intervals when the power's on. I can't even begin to imagine the advantage of having a computer turn back on when the circumstances need to be specific for it to make any difference. As if I'm going to be inconvenienced by pressing the power button when I'm good and ready. -_-
