Hide Hibernation tab

[Guest]

I've searched the internet up and down looking for a registry hack or GPO
that will hide the hibernation tab in power options. Another good option
would be to have all options "greyed-out" so a end-user cannot alter
hibernation settings as defined by a system administrator.

Can anyone point me in a direction?

Thanks for the quick reply Wesley! However, my need is to prevent end-users
from enabling hibernation. My thought was to either 1) hide the tab in power
options or 2) have the hibernation option greyed out.

Other thoughts?

Thanks again everyone, but this is still not what I need. I need to prevent
users from enabling hibernation.

Well that is what that is supposed to do. I got it from this page:

This one looked good, hide Power Options Properties.

[[ the user will not able to enable hibernate again if :

after you disable the hibernate function on user computer , do this :

1: run gpedit.msc
2: expand user configuration
3: expand administrative templates
4: expand control panel
5: on the right pane, double click on Hide specified control panel applets
6: select enable
7: click show
8: click add
9: type powercfg.cpl ]]
