#9: Windows XP
After playing solitaire and creating artistic masterpieces on Microsoft Paint, it was time to shut down the family computer. If you were doing this routine after 2001, your computer most likely had Windows XP. You’d go to the bottom left-hand corner, press the “Start” button, and the shut-down screen would appear.

Seeing the XP shut-down screen today is like seeing an old friend. The way the home screen would change to black-and-white while the “turn off computer” box stayed in full color was simply magical. So many of us had this operating system back in the day, and we all probably had the shut-down routine of our old computers embedded in our muscle memories.
