Re: Hibernate once - resume many

Slobodan,

Although it is a good idea I don't think it is going to work.
>From my investigation it seeemed that that MS Gina code that is responsible for the "Turn Off" dialog requests for (enables) the
SE_SHUTDOWN_NAME privilege for the current user temporarily prior and while making the call to NtPowerInformation :-(

I guess this is one more feature to be requested for XPe to make it more *embedded*.

Regards,
Konstantin
