Standby from QuickLaunch

[Nate]

putting:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

into a batch file puts me into Hibernate, not Standby. I don't want to
disable Hibernate. Can I go to Standby directly from QuickLaunch
somehow?

Hi Nate,

You may try this shutdown.exe utility
http://www.budja.com/shutdown/

From that page:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Shutdown.exe is a simple command line utility that can:
Log Off the current user
Shutdown (Turn Off) the computer
Restart the computer
Hibernate the computer (note that hibernation has to be enabled!)
Put the computer into Stand By (Sleep)
--------------------------------------------------------------------

-or-
