    I want to create a shortcut on the desktop for "sleep ".
    Can someone tell me which file Win 7 Ultimate uses and
    where to find it so I can do this.
    TIA

    Sleep

    Hi Arie,
    Thanks for the reply..What you suggested seems to put my system
    to "Sleep" But unlike the Ultimate sleep mode,when awakening, my computer does a complete reboot.
    The "built in" just restarts the computer quickly.

    What you have to do is right-click the Start button, choose Properties and set the Power button action to Sleep.

    Hi,
    I have done what you suggested but this will cause a complete reboot or a lock up. Sometimes I get "windows resuming" and then a lock up.
    The Win 7 Ultimate :Start>sleep is very quick in entering
    and very quick in re opening.
    I don't think this is the proper file that I used in
    my new shortcut.

    Thanks

    Sorry, I never use sleep, and in the few times I tried the shortcut I posted above I didn't run into any trouble.

    Arie,
    I'm now using right click to change the power button.
    This seems to work well, so mark this thread as "Resolved "
    Thanks,
