If Advanced Power Management (APM) is enabled, when you exit Windows 95 the system will be automatically shut down. This requires computer systems with a Plug and Play BIOS that supports APM features. This is usually the case for laptop computers.
You can control the APM features through the System applet in the Control Panel. Click the Device Manager tab and expand the System Devices item from the device list and double click Advanced Power Management. Click the Settings tab and set or remove the check mark from the "Enable power management support" to enable or disable the APM features.

If APM is enabled, a Power applet will appear in the Control Panel. Many laptops have proprietary APM features and display a corresponding applet in the Control Panel.

If Windows 95 does not recognize that your system supports APM features then the Advanced Power Management entry under Systems Devices will not appear. In that case there you cannot change any settings or enable APM. The Power applet in the Control Panel will not be displayed.
