Want Hibernate button Instead of Stand By button

[Guest]

Hello,
I'm using Windows XP Pro. I use Hibernate option much often than the Stand
By option in Turn off computer window. In this window when we press the shift
key the Stand by button changes to Hibernate button. Is there any way to get
Hibernate button instead of Stand by button and when I click shift key the
Hibernate button should change to Stand by button?

You can have a one icon shutdown right on your desktop to shut down windows
instead of going to Start, Shutdown, Shutdown, OK. Here's how:
For a Shutdown button
Right click on a blank area on the desktop
Click on New, then Shortcut
Type this: shutdown -s -t 00
(those are zero's not the letter)
Click Next, then give it a name, such as Shutdown, then click on Finish
For a Reset button
Do the same thing only type: shutdown -r -t 00
Then give it the name Reset
Now...those icons look ugly...change them too
Right click on the first icon you just created, click on Properties, click
on Change Icon (you'll probably get a message...just click on OK), then find
a different icon to use and double click on it. Then click on OK. Then
change the other icon (if you create 2 of them)
For Hibernation button
Do the same thing again only this time type: rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll,
SetSuspendState

I do this on my computer. I use the 'sleep' button to initiate hibernation.

Just right click on the desktop, select properties, select screensaver tab,
then click the 'power' button at the bottom of the menu. Then select the
Advanced tab. On my system there is an item near the bottom that says "When
I press the Sleep button on my computer". Select hibernate from the
dropdown menu. That should do it.

Hope this helps...

Hey Tracy,
Thank you very much for that hard job. I've made the hibernate one in my
quick launch but still if you find any solution to my original request in
future and let me be informed I'll be even more thankfull.

Hey Dick,
Thanks for you kind reply. I think you haven't understood my question.
Please take the pain to read my description again.

Sarabh,
It looks like you are asking to reverse the situation.

Normally, you can select "Standby" and use Shift to select "Hibernate."
With correct settings, you can select "Hibernate" without Shift, but not
"Standby."

You want to make it so you can select "Hibernate" and use Shift to select
"Standby."

Is that correct?

SV you got it right. That is exactly what I want, reverse the situation.
