sleep shortcut

If you disable hibernation, then the other one should work as well.

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, 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,

Hello Quanzaboy,

I would recommend to use either shortcut in the newer tutorial below for Windows 7 instead. :)
