Version: 1.3
Originally I need a program to allow me to hibernate my system by pressing a hotkey combination. DirectShutdown seemed to be the goal, but after starting it came the negative surprise: I cannot uncheck the comfirmation option ("Confirm Hibernate") and I even cannot change the key combination: I select the letter "A" f.e., but it changes back to "H". Of course it would not be a problem, but I definitely do not need any confirmation, after pushing (the default) combination it should hibernate my system immediately...

Seems to be a useful program but it didn't resolve the problem I have - an inability to shut down properly due to a 0x804E35E9 error

Version: 1.3I gave this a good review as if it had worked. In my case, it didn't work as it should. I had to end up using System Restore to get rid of it. The two times I tried to use it, I ended up with a blue screen. The second time I couldn't get it restarted and had to restore. I have to assume that it is my configuration causing the problem. I downloaded some shortcuts and the restart worked but coming out of hibernation, the USB mouse wouldn't work.
