Is there a way to have hibernate as an option when you click turn off computer?
At the moment I have to hold shift and that changes the standbye option to hibernate. But I want the extra button there to save having to press the shift key

In the registry, create this key:
\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\System\Shutdown
Create a DWORD value named ShowHibernationButton and set its data to 1. Now, go ahead and click Start, Shutdown, and you'll see all four buttons available simultaneously

U can change your logon protocol, would give you all the options in a dropdown box that way, you also need to set another registry key when doing that to stop a logon prompt from showing when u start ur pc though that way.

Christ on a bike
Start -> Control Panel -> Power Options -> Hibernate
TICK the box saying Enable Hibernate
Then when you shutdown and get the 3 buttons, just press H
dont bother fannying about with 'do this when i press my power button' crap
