256986 Description of the Microsoft Windows Registry



SUMMARY
You are using a computer that is running Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2) or Microsoft Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005. When you click Turn Off Computer on the Start menu, the Hibernate button does not appear. Instead, only the following buttons appear:
 * Stand by
 * Turn Off
 * Restart

This behavior occurs even if you have hibernation enabled on the computer.

Note If your computer is a member of a domain and if you use the classic Shut Down menu, these buttons do not appear.



MORE INFORMATION
This is the expected behavior in Windows XP SP2. To cause the Hibernate button to appear after you click Turn Off Computer, press the SHIFT key. When you press SHIFT, the Stand by button changes to the Hibernate button.

However, you may not easily see or remember how to access the Hibernate button when you click Turn Off Computer. Therefore, you may not use the hibernate feature in Windows as much as you want to. A hotfix is now available to cause the Hibernate button to appear when you click Turn Off Computer on the Start menu. After you apply this hotfix, all the following buttons appear when you click Turn Off Computer on the Start menu:
 * Hibernate
 * Stand by
 * Turn Off
 * Restart

Hotfix installation information
Warning If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.

After you apply this hotfix, you must modify the Windows registry to enable the appearance of the Hibernate button. To cause the Hibernate button to appear when you click Turn Off Computer, follow these steps:  Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK. Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

 Right-click Windows, point to New, and then click Key. In the New Key #1 box, type System, and then press ENTER. Right-click System, point to New, and then click Key. In the New Key #1 box, type Shutdown, and then press ENTER.</li> On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.</li> In the New Value # 1 box, type ShowHibernateButton, and then press ENTER.</li> Right-click ShowHibernateButton, and then click Modify.</li> In the Value data box, type 1, leave the default Hexadecimal option selected, and then click OK.</li> Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>

Note If your computer is on a domain and if your computer uses the classic Shut Down menu, you must follow these steps to cause the Hibernate button to appear: <ol> Click Start, click Run, type regedit, and then click OK.</li> Locate and then click the following registry subkey:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows

</li> Right-click Windows, point to New, and then click Key.</li> In the New Key #1 box, type System, and then press ENTER.</li> Right-click System, point to New, and then click Key.</li> In the New Key #1 box, type Shutdown, and then press ENTER.</li> On the Edit menu, point to New, and then click DWORD Value.</li> In the New Value # 1 box, type HibernateAsDefault, and then press ENTER.</li> Right-click HibernateAsDefault, and then click Modify.</li> In the Value data box, type 1, leave the default Hexadecimal option selected, and then click OK.

Note After you set the HibernateAsDefault DWORD value to a non-zero value on a computer that is joined to a domain, Hibernate appears in the Shut Down Windows dialog box if the following conditions are true: <ul> Hibernation is enabled on the computer.</li> <li>No automatic updates are pending that require the computer to be restarted.</li></ul> </li> <li>Quit Registry Editor.</li></ol>

The hibernate feature has several benefits. When you use the hibernate feature, your programs and open windows do not have to be shut down or closed. The state of your computer is preserved while the computer is in hibernation. Additionally, the startup time to resume from hibernation is typically about 30 percent less than when you start the computer from the shutdown state. After the computer resumes from hibernation, your Windows desktop, data, and programs are restored. You can quickly return to where you left off. Additionally, because all your data is saved to the computer’s hard disk drive when you put the computer in hibernation, you reduce the risk of losing your work in progress.

When you use the hibernate feature, the computer does not use additional power. A desktop computer typically draws a small amount of power when it is shut down or when it is in hibernation. This amount is typically about 3 watts. A portable computer does not draw additional power from the computer's battery when the computer is in hibernation or when it is shut down.
