Standby shortcut

Is there a way to make a shortcut,soo when i click on it,PC will go to standby?
I already tried the windows xp method, but it puts my pc to hibernation.

Hello Hijnikb, and welcome to Seven Forums.

create a batch file with

Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep

in it.

right click desktop>new>text document
edit it
copy and paste contents inside
save
close
rename to sleep.bat

if you're courageous:

open pc, find the 2 wires for the power button connection to the motherboard. Splice in a wire, connect this wire to a miniature pushbutton which you place somewhere convenient on your desk.
The length of wire and it's size dont matter much. It just connects 5 v to mass to activate the powerunit.

Set in bios the power button to activate Sleep, do the same in windows.

Now you just push one button on your desk to sleep and wake.

Very convenient

Now that's literally a standby shortcut on your desktop! I like it!

Thanks for all the reply im a bit late sorry
I didnt get that shortcut to working (only hibernation) but i found out i have an wireless old keyboard which has a sleep button :):):) dummy me :X

Very nice idea but with my extra mini nettop i wouldnt try this

Hojnikb,

I'm happy to hear that you have an alternative. :)

If you disabled hibernation using Method One in this tutorial, then the sleep shortcut should then sleep instead if you still would like a shortcut.
