No, I did not (and neither did my friend - he merely upgraded from Win98 to
WinME with someone else's help) install WinME at all. The OS (and all other
of his applications) was already on a friend's hard drive when I gave him a
newer (newer than his) computer (which did auto-shut-down). His old computer
( had a neck-snapping 233 MHz CPU and older than year 2000) probably did not
even have automatic shut-down capability, so any files that governed
auto-shut-down remained on the hard drive.

for shutdown automatically) in Releases of BIOS after 2000 year..
