Enable HIBERNATE Button in Shutdown Dialog Box in Windows XP



Guys

In Windows XP "Hibernate" button is not visible in Shutdown dialog box but when we press <SHIFT> key, it appears in place of "Stand By" button. Its strange and many people want to show it always in shutdown dialog box. So here I'll tell you a way to always show Hibernate button in shutdown dialog box:

1.) Open %windir%\system32\msgina.dll file into Resource Hacker.

2.) Goto Dialog -> 20100 -> 1033.

3.) If you want the following look (Hibernate button at bottom-center) :

Download following text file, open it and copy the whole contents then replace existing code with the copied code:

hibernate_at_bottom_code.txt

4.) OR if you want following look (Hibernate button in the same row of other items) :

Download following text file, open it and copy the whole contents then replace existing code with the copied code:

hibernate_same_row_code.txt

PS: Pressing <SHIFT> key will still work.

    ^^ Restore the default file. When you edited it in Resource Hacker, it must have created a backup file with the name "msgina_original.dll" in "System32" folder.
