Set hibernation as "default" sleep

[plonilmonit]

Hello,

Is there a way to configure windows so every time a sleep is triggered indirectly (i.e. by a 3rd-party SW) than windows will automaticaly hibernate instead of entering a "regular" sleep ?

Hi, I wrote a program many years ago to shutdown my PC at a later time. During that time I learned a little about the sleep/hibernate options. I'm going to copy the help file directly to here and maybe it'll help.

-------------------------------------
The "Sleep" option does one of two things: hibernate or sleep *DEPENDING* upon how the hibernate option is set on your PC.

Most PCs come with the hibernate option set to ON.

You can change the hibernate option to OFF, which allows sleep mode to work by doing the following:

Open a command prompt with administrative privledges.

Type in the following command:
powercfg -hibernate off

You can reverse the above and change hibernate to on by doing the same but with the "on" command on the end rather than the "off" command.

Hibernation ia available on my computer, htis is not the problem.
What I want to do is make the computer go into hibernation every time it is being asked to go to sleep.

Which is what I thought the powercfg -hibernate on suppose to do. I could be wrong though.
