Microsoft says here about PowerdownAfterShutdown : "Windows 2000 does not use this entry. The entry remains in the registry to support programs designed for Windows NT 4.0 and earlier". This is old.

While i do admit that the solution sounds unlikely, it is worth a try. The system in my situation was Windows 7 Pro x86

In Windows 7 this entry doesn't exist in the registry, so I don't understand how you could have found it in your registry, unless you installed some old product that added it in.

I actually had this entry in my registry and it was set to 0, but I switched it to 1, rebooted and then shut down again and it didn't seem to have any effect unfortunately.
