I recently upgraded a win98se rig to winxp home (sp2). I've noticed a
couple of times when I shut down (4 users are listed), it will say
"shut down upstairs". What the hell does that mean, and how does it
know the rig is "upstairs"...woooooooooooo...... (it is of course)...??
Weird.

I believe it does this only when I log out first..

Did you per chance name the computer above you "upstairs"?

Did someone name the computer "Upstairs?" (I assume you are not
administrator.)

You have the rigs networked and you named the upstairs rig, well..., "upstairs"

Well someone already suggested that before I came here, but of course I
would've remembered that now wouldn't I... well then there now ...I
just checked and of course you are all correct. I must pulled that name
out of my (*ss) last week and plum forgot. Recently upgraded to XP
and networked and renamed. Another senior moment, but of course I am a
senior..(playing Doom3...hahahahahahaha..and, er, thank you all. Exit
red-faced stage (monitor) left....

At least you didn't put spin on it and say it was your neighbor's nephew
that did it.
