Shutdown preferences

How do you change the shutdown preference to default to "shutdown" from
"restart"?

Even when I choose "shutdown", it still comes back with "restart"

I was mistaken. I defaults to hibernate and even though I choose "shutdown"
the next time I go to shutdown it is set to hibernate again. John, how do you
change what the default is for turning it off from the start button?
