[How to Shutdown from Windows]

Just to confirm, I have tried in the Command Prompt 'flirc_util.exe record power', upon receiving message 'Successfully recorded button' back, I press the recorded button and the machine does nothing :-(

I don't understand where or why it's not working.
 

[How to Shutdown from Windows]

Is it possible to get the Flirc to shutdown WIndows/ PC when pressing my remote 'off' button?

I have set the WIndows power options to shutdown and not sleep when the power button is pressed, and have tested this by manually pressing the button. 

When I use the remote and Flirc the machine just goes to sleep and does not do a full shutdown.  I have tried using the Flirc GUI and selecting the Boxee power button and assigning it to my remotes power button, but it just sleeps.

Thanks
