Our policy is as follows: Lock computers _whenever_ you walk away from them. Logoff at end of work day to allow patches and virus scans. Shutdown for the weekend. But I like the restart idea, for obvious reasons.

Modern PCs use more power and can handle startup and shutdown better than they used but having pcs shutdown at night would prevent the ability to run updates when users don't need them. It's been my policy to have users Lock computers when leaving for lunch Restart when leaving for the for the day Shutdown for the weekend. I'm curious what others are doing.
