Hi Elmo,
Sorry, still no success! Same result all over. The
Hibernate|Standby
parameter seems to be ignored by my pc's!

Hi Elmo,
Thanks for your reply.
Your advice, however, did not work.
Both shortcuts do the same: When hibernation is enabled, both
shortcuts send
the computer to hibernation. When hibernation is not enabled,
both
shortcuts
send the computer to standby.
What to do?
Thanks again,
Albert C.

Hello!
Sometimes, when I'm going to leave my computer for a while, I
want to put it
in standby mode. Some other times, for example when I go to
sleep, I want to
put my PC in hibernation.
Is it possible to create desktop shortcuts to enter each of
these
modes and
not have to toggle the Energy Options / Enable Hibernation
option?
Thanks in advance,
Albert C
Hibernate:
1. Right click on your Windows desktop and select New ->
Shortcut
2. Under "Type the location of the item", type:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState
Hibernate
Click Next.
3. Give it a unique name and click Finish.
Standby:
1. Right click on an empty area on your desktop.
2. Select New>Shortcut.
3. In the first box of the Create Shortcut Wizard, type:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Click Next.
4. Call the shortcut something like "Standby" (without quotes)
and
click
Finish.
5. To add the finishing touch, right click on this new icon,
select
Properties, click the Change Icon button and select an
appropriate
icon.
A Google search found this thread:

The answer was in the link I sent:
I saw the word Hibernate at the end of the Hibernate line, and a
little
intuitive thinking led me to try the same with Standby. It works -
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Standby
So to reiterate the whole list, with the proper standby line:
Shutdown:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -s
Reboot:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -r
Logoff:
%windir%\System32\shutdown.exe -l
Standby:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Standby
Hibernate:
%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState
Hibernate
