View Full Version : Desktop shortcut for standby/hibernate?

To create a Quick Restart icon on your desktop, right-click on an empty spot
on your desktop, then choose New Shortcut. Where the Wizard says ``Type the
location of the item,'' type: shutdown -r -t 0 (that's a zero on the end,
and there are spaces between all the entries). Choose Next. In the box that
says ``Type a name for this shortcut,'' give it a name that you like. I
called mine ``Quick Restart''. Choose Finish.

To make a Quick Shut Down icon, follow the same instructions, but the
shortcut command should read: shutdown -s -t 0.

My question: does anyone know how to create desktop shortcuts for standby
and/or hibernate?
