I want to be able to power off the PC if the user does not choose to 
boot an OS. (I use a .com file to achieve this.)

Although it is likely that as soon as somebody presses a key, he/she is 
going to make a selection, it is not 100% certain. So stopping the 
timeout after pressing a key is not an option for me.

Cheers
Alex
