Questions people ask...

My wife was just browsing the net when through a RSS feed she found this gem of stupidity.

I'm posting a screen shot of it, just in case the link above goes amiss.

Please, leave a comment.

How to display the Hibernate Button

I know it's an old thing, but a few people still has trouble displaying the Hibernate button on the shutdown screen, as in the picture bellow.



In order to do this, your system needs to meet the following criteria:

  • The version of the msgina.dll file in the %windir%\system32 folder must be 5.1.2600.2603 or above.

  • The Hibernate mode must be set on the Power Options.

  • The value of the following key in the Registry must be 1:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
      \SOFTWARE
         \Policies
            \Microsoft
               \Windows
                  \System
                     \Shutdown
                        ShowHibernateButton : DWORD
I've put up a Registry file that already set up this value here.

MSDN website is down...

I don't know if any of you have realized this yet, but for the most part of today (Oct. 4th) the MSDN website has been inaccessible.

Below the page I'm getting every time I attempt to access.

Please, leave a comment.
