Solved Hibernation

[Mil0s]

It was easy with xp but now i can't set up my computer to hibernate when i press shift key.How can i do that with windows 7? Help would be appreciated

You could use keyboard remapping software like SharpKeys then map a key to do shutdown /h /t 0

That will force an immediate Hibernate.

There are many other keyboard remappers, that's just the first one I found via a Google search.

I'll try that.Thanks

Hello Mil0s,

If that fails, here's a hibernation shortcut that you could use and assign a keyboard shortcut to if you like as well.

Hope this helps,
Shawn

I link Brink's solution better. Does not require and 3rd party software.

I actually found another solution.I opened a command prompt and typed POWERCFG /HIBERNATE ON and i also disabled Allow hybrid sleep option and now i can find hibernate in my start menu.Thanks anyway

Glad you got it.

How does that give you a one click Hibernate though?
