Sleep works fine for me. It must be the s1/s3 settings in your bios that may be affecting things. I also have hibernate turned off, perhaps that helps. Either way, that sleep command has the desired effect, sorry it doesn't for you guys

Windows 7 SLEEP from the SHUTDOWN menu has a shorter wakeup sequence. It skips the usual BIOS POWERON tests I go through when I use RUNDLL32/POWRPROF from a shortcut. I would like to know how to get the shorter wakeup using a shortcut.

This sleep command puts the machine in HIBERATE instead

Sleep Computer Command - rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0


anyone know the correct codes?

The only way i find - is to turn off the hibernation mode. It seems to me, that this article is wrong:

Create a batch file with the following:

@echo off
powercfg -h off
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
powercfg -h on

Then create the desktop shortcut and use the Browse to point to it.

the command "rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0" for sleep is correct, however, it will hibernate instead of sleep if u dont turn the hibernation off.

here's how: start menu, open up ur cmd.exe by right clicking and opening as ADMINISTATOR.
then type "powercfg -hibernate off" w/o the quotations.
that's it.

No it's not correct - It is hibernating and by turning hibernate off it is forced to sleep only - still need a command to sleep with out having to force hibernate on and off

To create a shortcut that will execute the sleep command in Vista:

*
Right Click in the desired location (On the Desktop or in a folder)
*
Select New -> Shortcut
*
In the “Type the location of the item” field enter the following
*
Rundll32.exe Powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep
*
Click Next
*
This will create a shortcut with the name rundll32,
*
Right Click the shortcut, select Rename and type in Sleep

You can now open this shortcut whenever you desire to put your computer into sleep mode.

THIS IS WORKING CODE (TESTED only ON MACHINE with Hibernate OFF)
make "something.bat" file
copy "@echo off
rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,0,1"
without quotes and then make your shortcut for something.bat file...
This is 100% fast real sleep for windows 7

Then create the desktop shortcut and use the Browse to point to it.

and then create the desktop shortcut and use the Browse to point to it.

in my case, with the following keyboard shortcut Ctrl + F1

Works 100% in Windows 7

I have recently checked since the Windows 7 SP1 update and all the above commands are still in the works. I would even go as so far to believe these commands for restart, shutdown, and sleep will also work on Windows 8.

Via start menu>shutdown> sleep key works fine.
Hibernate is off but command rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
or rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Sleep not working.
Batch file not working "You do not have permission to enable or disable the Hibernate feature." I love Mac
