How to block Fn+F12 (Hibernation)
How to block Fn+F12 (Hibernation)
I wanna restrict access to this function under WinXP. I searched the database, but didnt find an answer.
Is there a way to get this work:
- by using an internal Thinkpad function (the keyboard utility can only restrict this on an external keyboard)?
- by using an Windows function (user access rights, or kinda similar)?
- with a trick, e.g. restricting access to the hiberfil.sys?
- with 3rd party software?
I appreciate any comment.

Check your BIOS settings. I seem to remember there's an option under Config/Power on my T23 that can enable/disable hibernation, although I can't remember if it's only for when the system is docked. I'd try it with the one I'm using now, but I'm using it now .

Unfortunately, neither disabling hibernation via the BIOS nor the Power Settings checkmark thing do the trick. When you press Fn+F12, T23 hibernates nevertheless. I suspect it is hardcoded into the hardware, those Fn+F key combinations, as I can, for example, reduce brightness or sound level while the machine is booting up to Win XP...rkawakami wrote:Check your BIOS settings.
