Can't Manually Select Hibernate Mode

In Control Panel/Power Options I selected the Hibernate tab then checked
enable hibernation. However, when I select start/Turn Off Computer the only
choices are stand by, turn off, & restart. Shouldn't I also see the option
to hibernate?

To manually put your computer into hibernation:
Hold down the Shift key, and the Stand By button will change to Hibernate.

To enable the Hibernate button on the Turn off Computer window you need
to set the option in the Registry:

1. Copy between the lines
2. Paste into Notepad
3. Make sure that this is a single line:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE . . .

3. Save-as HibernateButton.reg (or any name + .reg)
4. Double-click or right-click and merge into the Registry

--------------------------------------------
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Win dows\System\Shutdown]
"HibernateAsDefault"=dword:00000001
"ShowHibernateButton"=dword:00000001
