I am glad I found this site!
Brink has created all kinds of cool desktop shortcuts for 8.1
There is one that I hope he can help me with.
I have created a shutdown shortcut on my Win 8.1 tablet that works nicely (thanks to Brink).
My tablet has a physical button on the side that is used to put the tablet into instant sleep mode.
You press the button and the tablet immediately turns off (goes to sleep).
You press the button again and the tablet immediately turns on again (comes out of sleep).
I would like to create a shortcut on my desktop (NOT the Metro start screen) that will function the same way the
physical button does, that is, the tablet will immediately turn off (goes to sleep).
Someone posted something close, but not quite the same thing; ....powrprof.dll.SetSuspendState Sleep
When I create a shortcut with the above code the tablet actually *shuts down*.
I know this because when I press the power button the tablet goes through the cold start up routine.
I would like the shortcut to do EXACTLY the same thing that happens when I press the power button on the tablet; go *immediately* into sleep. And pressing the power button after that should turn the tablet *immediately* back on.
Thanks!
