Do you mean after switching off the pc using Start/turn off computer, you then unplug all the rest of the hardware, printer scanner e.t.c.

Or do you mean you just switch the lot off at the wall?

If its the second in future do the first

That's exactly what I do in order to reduce my electricity bill! Leaving things in standby mode costs a huge amount. It certainly doesn't do any harm to the equipment switching them off at the power source after you've closed everything down. As a side benefit it also reduces the fire risk.

Do you know that we're all in line for succession to the throne? Really?
Well, if forty-eight million, two hundred thousand, seven hundred and one people died I'd be Queen.
