Any one know how to reshack msgina.dll to replace Standby with Hibernate? I never use Standby, but I use Hibernate all the time.

Unfortunately, I have very little experience reshacking dialogs and prompts, so any help would be much appreciated.

I'd like the Shutdown prompt to default to this:

instead of this:

You will find it if you use your FTP prog to go to ftp.asus.com, anonymous login; then follow the folder tree manually to the file name. It's 12 MB.

[ricktendo]

I think I should just delete my post with the patch... dont want to cuase any machines to explode.

Heres a new patch if it does not work for you, upload your msgina.dll and PM me the link so I can make one that works with that specific version http://rapidshare.de/files/37228328/Patch_msgina.exe.html

Thanks guys, i got it.

what version of the msgina.dll do you have,, or better yet are using ?

Under Windows XP SP2, my msgina.dll version is 5.1.2600.2180!

This is the file I'm hacking in the first post.

When I download and install WindowsXP-KB875506-v2-x86-ENU, my msgina.dll version is 5.1.2600.2833!

This is what shown in Post #7.

Hi,

You can also install MS Hotfix KB875506 and add a new registry setting:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System]

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown]
"ShowHibernateButton"=dword:00000001

This hotfix has an updated MSGINA.DLL which allows for all four buttons to appear on the signoff dialog.

Some OEM PC's ship this update (I have seen it on some Sony PC's for example) so it's available out there.

This hotfix should be available from the usual online sources.

Kind Regards

Simon

note: for future readers of this thread - WinXP Service Pack 3 included the Hotfix KB875506 that PsiMoon314 mentioned here

Correct, erfahren. But SP3 does not include the registry entry. To activate the four button shutdown dialog, just add the registry entry.
