I've just come across this command using Rundll32 :-
RUNDLL32.EXE PowrProf.dll,SetSuspendState
Which should place the computer into hibernation, you could set it to run
using some scheduling such as the "at" command (but that would be at a
certain time) or, and I haven't tried this yet, you could type it in the
"screensave.exe" value under "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop" with
Regedit and set "ScreenSaveTimeOut" to 1800 (seconds). Some other programs
can be used instead of a genuine screensaver such as explorer (although I
don't know why you would try) so it is possible that it would be the answer.
As I said, I really don't know allot about Group Policies, I wanted to set
some limitations across four computers to disable to ability to change the
homepage (as users were constantly changing them from our company's homepage
to gaming sites) in IE. The Policy editor only seems to allow you to change
user settings for the current user and, as that has to be Admin to even use
Policy editor, that baffles me. Eventually I found the reg key to disable
the option and went round importing the setting. This involved opening
Regedit in Admin and going to HKEY_USERS , finding the right user and
changing the value! There must be a way of setting the options in Group
Policy Editor and then exporting them so you can apply them to each user. I
will try to find out.
Yours,
