Problem

Just installed Windows 8 Preview, and can't figure out how to get to Shutdown/Restart option in the Start menu. Clicking on start menu brings up the "Start Screen", but Shutdown/Restart options are not there. Had to use command prompt to shut my box down. Ideas?

Low Risk

Its under Settings in the Start Menu (you need to hover over the lower left corner of the Start Button to get the menu with settings, NOT click it). Or, alternatively, you can hit Win+I to bring up the settings panel.
