HOWTO hibernate winXP via a btach file

[undisclosed]

Hi,



I came to find, in windows XP SP3, that the command,



_-%windir%\system32\rundll32.exe_PowrProf.dll,_SetSuspendState_m2-_

or

_-rundll32.exe_powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState_0,1,0-_



executed at a command prompt, triggers the hibernation process

as hibermation proceeds; I can see the winXP progress bar.



But unfortunately it does not stop their, my machine resumes from

hibernation, within seconds, unless I switch-off the power as soon as

hibernation completes.



The same is the case, when I use the power switch.

Thru the Power Config UI, I have chosen the hibernation option, when I

press the power switch on my desktop, hibernation is triggerred but

still windowsXP, resumes (if not switched off)



Any clues, why winXP behaves this way.

Could I be missing something.



I am using windows XP, SP3



TIA

Not a batch file, but Wizmo is a tiny .exe program that can do that as

well a many other functions.

Did you try any of these:

The first line enables hibernation

powercfg /hibernate on

%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate
