Turn Off Computer options missing "Hiberbate"

[Guest tek]

When I click "Turn Off Computer" I use to receive 4 options:

Hibernate, Stand By, Turn Off, Restart. For some strange reason after

I had to reinstall XP Home on my laptop I only receive 3 options:

Stand By, Turn Off, Restart. I've searched Google for some answers but

the only one I found that is close to a resolution is to hold the

SHIFT key while the mouse pointer hovers over the Stand By option to

toggle the options. But how do I get the Hibernate option back fully

without having to toggle it with the mouse and SHIFT key?

Download the Hot Fix and Registry Fix from the following link:

 

 

Hibernate as a Seprate Option

Download Hot Fix Here

Download Registry File

 

http://mindyourbrain.1gig.biz/TipsandTricks/tipshome.htm

 

First apply the registry fix. Click "Download Registry File" and click Run.

You will be notify that the entry has been added to Registry. Secondly, click

on "Download Hot Fix File", click Open and complete the Setup Wizard. Restart

your PC and next time you will have the Hibernate button in Shut Down dialog

box.

 

You can also save both Registry and Hot Fix file for future use.

 

Hope this help, let us know!

I found the hotfix in this location: http://www.ee.duke.edu/~qa/WindowsXP-KB893056.zip

I had to then make the registry changes and reboot. The hibernate

option is back again.

Is the "hotfix" worth the trouble? I almost always put my computer

into hibernation rather than shut it down, and I do it by pressing the

keys (ONE AFTER THE OTHER) Windows > u > h

Re: Turn Off Computer options missing "Hiberbate"

 

I use the shortcut keys CTRL+ESC-U-H myself, in order to put the system into Hibernation. But just in case, if you're an user who prefers mouse clicks instead of using the shortcut keys, then the Hotfix is very useful.
