On my machine I have made shorcuts on desktop for shutdown and for reboot,
as I like that way rather than going thru start menu...
("Shutdown -s -t 00" and "Shutdown -r -t 00" respectively)

What I can't seem to do is the same for hibernation.
It should be "Shutdown -h -t 00" , but that just gives a quickly
scrolling dos-prompt, most likely telling me that the syntax of the command
is wrong

System is Acer TravelMate7520-402G16Mi, Turion58,2GB(2*1),2*160GB, DVD-RW
OS: Windows Vista Home Premium SP1, all updated, most of Acer's junk removed
 
To see what the command box is trying to tell you run 'cmd' and then type in
the "Shutdown /h /t 00" command. I would expect you to be able to see the
response.

Also:
on my Vista Home Premium, SP1 the 't' option doesn't seem to be usable with
the 'h' option.
i.e
shutdown /h
works immediately

shutdown /h /t 00
does not work, presents list of correct syntax

Try this command:

C:\windows\system32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState

I have it working in XP Pro and Vista Ultimate 64 bit.
