After upgrading from Windows 98 to XPpro on my Gateway desktop:
shutting down sequence behaves normally and I can power on normally
with the  tower on-off switch.  However, if I unplug the power cord from the
wall outlet--the machine turns on all by itself  (without pushing the
on-off switch) when the power cord is reinserted into the wall outlet.

    In the power scheme I have unchecked "enable hibernation".

                                Any thoughts?
