disable stand by options

[coolsights2000]

How do I remove (hide) the standby and restart in MsDos mode option that is on the shut down windows panel when you shut the computer down

I removed the log-off on the start menu cause I found an article at the microsoft site that said it caused an error when logging off and it was a know issues...... and to dig a little deeper I would like to hide these tooo!!!!!

I am running win 98 SE

Thanks Mac!!!!!

This Is just my opinion
So if it stinks wait for another one

I believe it can only be done by editting the shell32.dll file.

[POBrien]

both can be done from the registry. Im at work now. I'll post later tonight.

POBrien,
I had this one in my files. Is it the same as yours?
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\ENUM\ROOT\PNP0C05\0000

APMMENUSUSPEND = 01

Change to zero to remove standby option.


I'll be interested to see how you remove the MSDOS option.

[POBrien]

That's for the Suspend Menu on the Start Menu. sure wish I could get out of here and get home :)

[POBrien]

Here they are..

for the Standby option. Drill down to

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\VPOWERD]
"Flags"=dword:00000100

and change the Flags dword value data of hexadecimal 100 to 300. Reboot.

To restore the option change the value back to 100
and reboot.

*note...

In the past I changed the value back to 100 and rebooted. The standby option did not return.
Why?

sometimes win98 will auto disable the Advanced Power Management Support (APMS) function when you remove the stand by option. So if it doesn't return when you set it back to 100 you'll have to also go to control panel/system applet/device manager/system devices.
Highligh APMS and click the refresh button.
Reboot.

For shutdown to Dos (real mode) drill down to

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Policies\WinOldApp]
"NoRealMode"=dword:00000001

If the WinOldApp subkey is not there you'll have to create it. Then add the dword value NoRealMode with the value data of 00000001. reboot.

To bring it back change the value data to 00000000 or just delete the WinOldApp subkey.

reboot.

NoRealMode worked great for hiding that options

But the other one didn't work the standby option is still there...........BUT I can say this my standby mode works now ...... It was missing the keys to make it work ...... I did a search on the net added a SuspendFlag with the Flags dword
I still want to disable it ......

Thanks we are half way I added the NoRealMode to the other users profiles!!!!!!

Thanks
Mac!!!

POBrien,
Those were worth waiting for.
Regarding the Power Management. I was at another Board and I suggested the same method to a Poster. He was rather nasty. He used the method I posted above, which was recommended by the Moderator of that same Board and he said that worked for him. I can't test either of these because I have an HP and do not have these keys in my Registry for Power Management. I never have. This computer is a bit different.
But the Winoldapp worked beautifully. Thanks.

Cool,

Thanks for the feedback. Ive only tried the standby tweak on my box. I had no idea it wouldn't work on others. I'll scan my reg tonight to see if there's anything else needed.

[POBrien]

welcome. thanks for your insight. I have an HP pav. 3260. This model has the power options in the bios (which I have disabled). It's interesting that it's not working for others. hmmm... well....
that sucks :)

[chpid]

what about in win2k? I have a guy whose Standby/ Hibernate options disappeared. Is there a registry flag that can force them back on?

Thanks in advance!

I have a similar question--I want to get rid of all standby and hibernation features of Windows 2000. I have an ACPI-enabled BIOS.

By default, Windows 2K allows users to turn on hibernation and standby through the Power Options dialogs. I need to make Windows remove these options from the Power Options dialogs. Is there a registry tweek that will cause windows to remove all UI controls for Standby and Hibernation?

Thanks.

POBrien,
Your solution (flags=300) WORKS for me!
Thanks so much for putting an end to my month long search for this solution.
Hope you have a safe and happy holidays.

[POBrien]

Thanks TNguy,

I was beginning to think that I was seeing things and dreaming that the Standby was gone.

Im glad it worked out.

Happy Holidays

POBrien,
What effect would the following *.reg file have? Note the change to the BIOS date. DarkRat read my post and emailed the file to me. Wouldn't changing the BIOS date to 1963 cause problems? I didnt run the file, because your fix worked for me. His *.reg is for a different part of the registry, as well.
Contents of *.reg:
REGEDIT4

; this removes "standby" from the "shutdown" menu
; you have to reboot to see the results of this fix

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Servic es\VxD\VPOWERD]
"Flags"=dword:00000300
"BiosDate"=hex:63,06,19

[POBrien]

I think the bios entry relates to that users particular board. I wouldn't include it in a reg file.

[tnguy]

Thanks, I will stick with what worked for me (the solution you posted)
