     Windows 2000 so that you can safely turn off power. 

0x04 Restart. Ends your session, shuts down Windows 2000,
      and starts Windows 2000. 

0x10 Stand by. Maintains your session, keeping the computer running on 
     low power with data still in memory (requires power management support). 

0x20 Stand by (with wakeup events disabled). Maintains your session,
     keeping the computer running on low power with data still in memory.

0x40 Hibernate. Saves your session to disk so that you can safely turn off power. 
     Your session is restored the next time you start Windows 2000.
