Here’s a really quick way to send your system into standby mode; just hit the power button! Yes, I’m serious, Windows XP can be set to go to standby when you hit the power button. Here’s how:

1. Click Start and open the Control Panel. Double click Power Options.
2. In the Power Options Properties dialog box, click the Advanced tab. Under Power Buttons, select Stand by in the “When I press the power button on my computer” area, and then click OK.
3. Now, when you push your computer's power button, your system will immediately go to stand by.

 

If you have a computer problem, or if you'd simply like to ask a question about computers, visit http://www.protonic.com and one of our technicians will help you out. It won't cost a thing, the site is run by volunteers. So log on, sign in and get it fixed.
