It is possible via third party install, notebooks will probably have it with the drivers with the system. You need to look on your manufacturer's web page.
 
e.g.
Fujitsu:

HP:

Not all manufacturers will supply it so its a case of hit or miss...

Hi Randomise,
 
'Power-Down After Shutdown' is easy to accomplish on NT4. Have a look at http://nt4ref.zcm.com.au/softoff.htm for a full description of what is required. NO 3rd party tools are required to perform this task.
