Start -> Control Panel -> Power Options -> Hibernate

TICK the box saying Enable Hibernate

Then when you shutdown and get the 3 buttons, just press H

dont bother fannying about with 'do this when i press my power button' crap

are u sure u have hibernation enabled? i have just tried it on mine and i have the option on the drop down list for shutting down

Desktop>Right click>Properties>Screensaver>Power>Advanced

"When I press the power button on my computer:
Hibernate"

U can change your logon protocol, would give you all the options in a dropdown box that way, you also need to set another registry key when doing that to stop a logon prompt from showing when u start ur pc though that way.

Yeah but I dont want to have to do that, Im sure its an easy fix somehow :lol:

Just hold down shift at the shutdown screen.

I had just found that on google....

Tried it but it didnt work :|

Maybe i ned to re-start first?

In the registry, create this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown
Create a DWORD value named ShowHibernationButton and set its data to 1. Now, go ahead and click Start, Shutdown, and you'll see all four buttons available simultaneously

Im pretty sure I have SP2 :)

i think tht optiuon comes when you install sp2, might be wrong tho

Windows XP Pro

Is there a way to have hibernate as an option when you click turn off computer?

At the moment I have to hold shift and that changes the standbye option to hibernate. But I want the extra button there to save having to press the shift key
