We’ve discussed hibernating your computer using the windows shortcut key (Window Key + L) in a previous post. A lazier way of doing the same task is to apply it in a shortcut. Steps are as follows:

1. Right click on your Desktop
   
2. Mouse hover on “New”
   
3. Select “Shortcut”
   
4. Key in “rundll32.exe PowrProf.dll, SetSuspendState” (minus the quotation marks of course)
   
5. You can use whatever name you want for the shortcut; Though I recommend naming it “YouScreamTheyScreamIscreamforIceCream”
   
6. The shortcut will automatically switch your machine to hibernate mode once clicked.
   

Now you might think that this has more steps than the Windows Shortcut, BUT! If you place the shortcut in your start menu it’ll be two clicks away to hibernate. Oh, and I personally believe that click through is faster than finger shortcuts. Shortcuts involve more muscles to locate and press, while using the mouse is just hovering to the correct location and click. Forget it, just believe me on this, ok? OK?!!!
