Classic Shell: Forum

I'd like to know if it would be possible to change the default shutdown option for the box instead of having to hover over shutdown in order to choose hibernate. If it's not possible, I think this would be a useful feature.

First, make sure hibernation is enabled by running this command from an elevated cmd prompt: powercfg /hibernate on

If you wish to make Hibernate the default option in the Shutdown box (the classic Shutdown dialog), open Group Policy (Gpedit.msc -> User Configuration -> Start Menu and Taskbar -> Change Start Menu power button. Set the action there.

You can also make Hibernate the default option in the Start menu itself. For that, open Start Menu settings -> All settings -> Customize Start Menu tab. Locate and double click "ShutdownBoxItem" and from the "Command:" field dropdown, choose 'hibernate'.

You are awesome! I didn't realize that shutdown settings could be modified by double clicking on it. Thank you so much!

This is a great program! This only thing I wish is that you could change the default in the basic settings mode. I always use "sleep" as my default. I was able to change it in the advanced settings, but I think it belongs as an option during the setup and in the basic settings. I have noticed in some of the similar programs, it is a basic setting. Thanks
