My OS is Win 7 Home Premium. I'd like to have two icon shortcuts - one for Sleep and the other for Hibernate. But it seems like I can only create one or the other -- but not both?? My current icon is for hibernate:

Target: C:\Windows\System32\rundll32.exe powrprof.dll,SetSuspendState 0,1,0
Start in: C:\windows\system32

So now, I use my PC "Power Button" to put the system to Sleep. But I would prefer a shortcut icon instead. Please help.

You could try NirCmd. Create a shortcut and give it whatever icon you want.
