How do I hibernate my Windows XP machine?
By Jamie | April 14, 2006
Hibernating your laptop quickly when your plane is boarding or when your train arrives at your destination is very useful feature, but would you like to access this feature quicker?
A number of methods can be used but it all depends on your preference:-
- Start > Turn Off Computer > Wait until the shutdown dialog appears and hold down on the shift key > The Standby button will switch to Hibernate one.
- You can create a shortcut which can be placed anywhere on Windows. On the desktop right click for the context menu > new > shortcut.
1) Paste the following into the text box C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate
2) Click next and give the shortcut a name, Hibernate might be a descriptive one! Click on Finish, you are then free to move the shortcut to anywhere on your PC
- You can also tell your laptop to do this when you shut the lid or press the power button. Start > Control Panel > Power Options and look under the advance tab.You can also enable hibernation from this location, under the hibernation tab.
