Before my hard drive got screwed up I had found a tutorial that showed me how to make a stand by icon on the desktop that when clicked on would put my computer into stand by mode. Does anyone know how to do this?
I'm not sure if it works, but I found a tutorial.
Paste this into notepad and save is as a .bat file:
rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState Standby
You don't need a bat, just make a new shortcut with this target:
[code]%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Standby[/code]
I think this only works in XP, in 7 (and probably Vista) it makes the computer hibernate.
I don't need hibernation though. I definitely need stand by. It's just a simple code that you paste into the location box under new shortcut.

I believe I originally saw how in a youtube video.
