hello, can anyone suggest me a method or technique in visual basic with which we can hibernate the system or put the system on stand by. thanx.
[[ Very late reply, but this might help others :smile: ]] You can use Shell :wink: (1) To Standby : Code: Shell("%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState") (2) To Hibernate : Code: Shell("%windir%\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState Hibernate")
