How to Hibernate my PC

[Shrikant]

I am using Windows XP Professional.
How to 'hinernate' my PC ? I was doing it for my laptop. It had the
advantage of quick restarting my computer after doing complete power off. The
standby mode needs the computer to be kept ON.

I have a Dell and the keys on the keyboard are labeled, Fn + F1 =
hibernate and Fn+Esc = Standby. But then this my PC. I suppose your
documentation would help more since you gave us no help on what PC you
have. In power settings of Control panel you may see some help there.
I've seen there that I can set the 'close lib' function to put mine
to standby or shutdown.

Right click the Desktop select New select Shortcut. In the Shortcut wizard
text box paste or type this line: C:\WINDOWS\system32\rundll32.exe
powrprof.dll SetSuspendState S4 (if using WindowsXP and C: is the system
drive). Give it a name and you are done. When you want to hibernate the
computer click the shortcut.
