If you installed the Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows NT, there is a panel that contains a radio button as to selecting the shutdown mode ('normal','immediate','abort').

to access it select:

Start - Programs - Oracle-Ora81 - Database Administration - Oracle Administration Assistant for Windows NT

under the 'Databases' node, right click on the particular database and select "startup shutdown options"
in the "Oracle Instance" panel, you have a checkbox for "Shut down instance when service is stopped"
under that is the radio button set for the shutdown options.

click ok - and close the MMC console.

If you are running W2K server or Pro - MMC is included. If you are running NT4 - you need to have installed the MMC for the Oracle Admin Asst plug-in.
