Keyboard shortcuts needed

[Walter R.]

I am using WinXP SP2 with a standard keyboard. It has separate keys for
"Power Off" and "Stand By".

Due to space limitations, I would like to switch to a truncated keyboard,
without the number pad on the right and without the special keys for Power
Off and Standby.

Are there keyboard shortcuts that I can use to activate Power Off and
Standby functions?

Create shortcuts to Shutdown and/or Reboot then assign a Shortcut key. Do
the same for Standby.

Desktop Shutdown Shortcut
Right click the desktop | Click New | Click Shortcut | Create Shortcut
Wizard opens | Type or paste: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s -t 00 |
Click Next | Type a name like: SHUTDOWN | Click Finish | Right click the new
shortcut | Make sure Start in has: %windir%

Desktop Reboot Shortcut
Right click the desktop | Click New | Click Shortcut | Create Shortcut
Wizard opens | Type or paste: %windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r -t 00 |
Click Next | Type a name like: REBOOT | Click Finish | Right click the new
shortcut | Make sure Start in has: %windir%

Desktop Standby Shortcut
Right click the desktop | Click New | Click Shortcut | Create Shortcut
Wizard opens | Type or paste:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Click Next | Type a name like: Standby | Click Finish

Customize the icons
Right click each shortcut | Properties | Shortcut tab | Change Icon button

You can assign a Shortcut key...

1. Locate the program file (.exe) or the program's shortcut icon.
Right-click the program file or shortcut, and then click Properties.

2. Click the Shortcut tab.

3. With the cursor in the Shortcut key box, select the keyboard key you
want to use in combination with CTRL+ALT. Shortcut keys automatically start
with CTRL+ALT. The Shortcut key box will display None until you select the
key and then the box will display Ctrl+Alt+the key you selected. You cannot
use the ESC, ENTER, TAB, SPACEBAR, PRINT SCREEN, SHIFT, or BACKSPACE keys.

Note
Once you assign a shortcut key combination for a specific program, you will
not be able to use that key combination with other programs.

If you forget the key combination for your shortcut, you can follow steps 1
& 2 and review your shortcut keys.

Shortcut tab
Lists the shortcut name, target information, and shortcut key. Allows you to
choose the way the item is displayed when you open the shortcut: in a
standard window, a full screen (maximized), or as a button on the taskbar
(minimized). Also allows you to view the shortcut's target, change the icon
for the shortcut, and open a shortcut as a different user.

Thank you very much, Wesley. Your instructions worked great for the Shutdown
shortcut.

What you call the Desktop Standby Shortcut actually gives me the Hibernate
Shortcut. (%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState)

Would you happen to know the line I should type in or paste for the
"Standby" Shortcut (sometimes called "sleep" shortcut?

Best regards

Hi Walter,

Oops, left off one word.

Try this.

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate

This will probably wrap, so, there is one space between SetSuspendState and
Hibernate.

You are correct, without Hibernate at the end, you get Standby.
