From Suspend to Hibernate

[Guest Peter]

I have XP Home SP3 on a Toshiba laptop.

 

I have a graphics driver problem that happens when I start WMP AFTER

resuming from Suspend. The problem does not occur if I resume from

Hibernate.

 

I know how to make the laptop hibernate: press the Shift key and press the

Suspend button.

 

However, is it possible to configure that Suspend button (maybe through the

Registry) so that instead of suspending it hibernates?

 

Thank you

Great, thanks.

 

But what I meant was to reconfigure the Start/Turn off computer/ Standby

button on the screen.

 

Is that possible?

Hold down shift and pick Hibernate instead.

Thanks Bob,<but that I know.

 

Let's put it another way: how can I get rid of the Standby button

altogether, so that only the Shut-down and Restart remain?

 

Thanks

If you are talking about buttons like the power button and the sleep button,

you can change the action through Power Properties in the Control Panel. Yes

they can be set to hibernate.

Re: From Suspend to Hibernate

 

No, I mean the Start/Turn off computer/ Standby button on the screen.

 

I want to change the Standby to Hibernate, or failing that to grey-out

(disable) the Standby button.

There is a registry hack to change the Windows XP menu to the classic menu

where you have a drop down list. But Standby will still be in that list. But

I don't know how to remove it. But I am sure there is a way to do it.

Follow these instructions:

 

1. Copy between the lines (below).

2. Paste into Notepad.

3. Make sure [HKEY_ . . . is one line.

4. Save-as HibernateButton.reg (or any name + .reg).

5. Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry.

6. Log-off or restart.

 

--------------------------------------------

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown]

"HibernateAsDefault"=dword:00000001

"ShowHibernateButton"=dword:00000001
