In Windows, Hibernation mode allows you to save power, and quickly access your desktop again when you need it. For notebook users like me it’s a most liked and used feature that saves battery life if you move frequently with your machine. In Windows 7, by default “Shut down” is selected at the power button which offcourse can be changed if you use Hibernation the most. But still you need to click Start Menu to put the system into hibernation mode.
I’ve found a way to create a single click shortcut for Hibernation so you can put the shortcut anywhere on your desktop or in taskbar for fastest access.
Right-click an empty area on your desktop and select New > Shortcut from the Context Menu.
In the Create Shortcut window type or copy the following in the location field…
C:WindowsSystem32rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, SetSuspendState 0,1,0
Click Next and now give the shortcut a name such as “Hibernate System” or whatever you want to call it and click Finish.
You’ll see a new shortcut on your desktop. You can change the icon by going to properties by right clicking the icon and selecting “Change Icon” and browse your favorite icon for the new shortcut. You may also pin the shortcut to the taskbar for the quickest access.
