Power Management is essentially a task scheduler -- do this when some
certain amount of time has passed after some certain event (the event being
the last input.) Doesn't remove the ability to manually stand by.

I'm next to certain that you can't get rid of the option. Is it really all
that annoying?

None of my Win98 computers have Power Management capability, yet one
of them puts "Stand by" as a choice on the shut down menu. What causes
the difference in these menu lists? Can I modify it to remove the
"Stand by" choice?
