Hello guys!
I read the forum for a while already, and it is oh so helpful!, but it is my first post, so welcome everyone!

Is disabling hibernation equal to getting rid of the Hybrid Sleep?

Hello Filipl, and welcome to Seven Forums.

It will disable the hibernate part of the hybrid sleep. If you disable hibernation, then it would be best to only use Sleep instead of Hybrid.

Hope this helps,

Hello, I have Windows 7 x64 and I was interested in this sleep shortcut. However when I run it the computer just shuts down instead of going to sleep.

When I opened the VBS script I saw this in the code:

Code:

Dim objShell 
Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application") 
objShell.ShutdownWindows <--- ???
set objShell = nothing
Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

WshShell.SendKeys "{Enter}"
Set WshShell = Nothing

So how is this supposed to be a sleep icon if the script is sending a shut down command to the computer?

What am I missing here? How can I make this shortcut work correctly and put my machine to sleep mode instead of shutting it down?

Thanks,
quanzaboy

Hello Quanzaboy,
