Windows 7 - Sleep Shortcut - Create

Yep, those are them.

Ok. I think I know what is happening now. The only way that I can recreate getting the "Shut Down Windows" Dialog box while using the shortcut is if the VBS file was not unblocked in step 5. Double check in the "Sleep Shortcut" folder in "Program Files" to see if the Sleep.vbs is unblocked.

hi again, the vbs is not blocked at all because I can use it directly by clicking it. Better yet, I placed it in the program files and then I assigned a key on my keyboard for it (using IntelliType software) so that I can use right away without the need of any shortcuts or whatever. Just a click of a button on my keyboard and I should get standby but for some reason it is not working. What is only working perfectly is a hibernate.exe file which I downloaded from somewhere a long time ago.

Strange, I just cannot get it to give me the "Shut Down Windows" Dialog box except as above with step 5 not being unblocked no matter what setting I use.

I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Never mind, You tried your best to help and for sure not all of us are lucky. Thanks for all your efforts. I will research this issue for a while and if I came up with an answer, I'll post it here for reference.

If I come across anything else, I'll be sure to post back with it for you as well.

I found out that the vbs file works just fine if I use it directly by clicking it with the mouse but it was not working if I assiged it to a free key on my keyboard (Using the IntelliType Pro) software. I think it's because the free keys I have on my keyboard can be programmed to work only with executable files i.e. launch executables.

In brief, it's my keyboard limitation and/or Microsoft's IntelliType Pro limitation and not the script.

If it's possible to package that vbs file in an exe file, that would be great
I have a hibernate.exe file that I downloaded long time ago and it works like a charm after dedicating a key for it on my keyboard.

P.S. For people to know what exactly I'm talking about, I'm using a keyboard called "Microsoft Digital Media keyboard 3000" which has 5 buttons labelled from 1 to 5 for me to program as I want using the "IntelliType Pro" Software.

Magoood,

Ah, good. I'm glad that you found the source of the problem. Thank you for posting back with this.

As far as a command, you could use the command below from Option Two (Method Two) in a BAT or CMD file, but you would also have to disable hibernate.
