I recently created a post about making an icon to lock your screen. Since then I have been playing around with some of the RUNDLL32 shortcuts available for Windows Vista. One of them I found handy was this one to put Windows into Hibernate mode.
1. Right-click an blank area on your desktop.
2. Select New >Shortcut
3. Type ‘ RunDll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState’ for the Location.
Give the shortcut a name like ‘Hibernate’. Now you can just double-click the icon whenever you want Windows to hibernate. This command works with Windows XP and Vista.
