**strohj** · 08-06-2007, 10:56 AM

Hi,

I am trying to set my carpc to go into hibernate after 48 hours or more... in windows I only have the option for up to 6 hours.. how do I change it to such a extended time?

I have seen people mention that they have theirs set to 36 hours or more .. but I would like to know how they change that setting

any ideas at all??

EDIT:

you can use the POWERCFG.EXE utility to customize your standby/hibernate settings to whatever you want

Nice to see people post the answers when they discover it on their own instead of just leaving an open thread.

Thanks!

ive been around here long enough to know that most of my problems dont really have answer on here yet... so I try to help out when I can...

btw the link I posted refers to how to do it for Vista.. but there is a link in the article that will take you to the XP stuff
