How to make a "Standby" Icon on Desktop?

[Anonymous]

Instead of going to START-->Shut Down-->Stand By-->OK, is there a short cut to the computer into "Stand by" mode quicker? (an icon on the desktop or something)
Thank you.

I asked this question before and got an answer from a puter techie friend and he says there is no code so far to his knowledge for that particular option...however...I am not convinced that the command is obsolete..

Use this Windows API to create a small exe:

SetSystemPowerState(True, False)

First parameter is whether to enter StandBy mode or shut down Windows.

Second parameter is whether ask all currently running Windows applications to suspend safely instead of forcing them to suspend. (True=Force; False=Ask)

It's very easy if your friend is in software programming part, instead of hardware part. The compiled version (exe) is only 15,360 bytes using Delphi. Ask if you want.
