"Ask me what to do" for "When I press the power button" option in Windows
Vista?
Why does my power light on the system case stays lit for 3 minutes after
Hibernating?

Hi Dima,

This will show you how to change the function on the Start menu and Case power button to either Shutdown, Sleep, or Hibernate.

Power Button


This will show you how to create a Hibernate shortcut that you can place anywhere you want.

You can also change your Power Plan settings so that the computer will be set to Hibernate instead of Sleep. See STEP TWO step 6D.
