Download: Slimer - The Sleep Timer for Windows XP
Slimer is a simple sleep timer that I wrote for Windows XP. I wanted a really simple application that would put my computer in standby or hibernate mode after a user-defined amount of time (no matter what applications were running). Slimer is really simple and here is how it works:
1. A user is asked how many minutes they would like to wait before sleeping.
2. After the user enters the amount of time, Slimer disappears and runs in the background.
3. When time expires, Slimer puts Windows XP into standby mode or hibernate mode (if hibernate is enabled).
See the screenshots below:

Note: Since Slimer runs in the background, if you would like to disable the sleep timer before time expires you can end the process through Windows Task Manager (CTRL + ALT + DEL).

It would be nice if the program provided the option of either standby OR hibernation, selectable by the user.
As it reads in your description, it sounds like any computer with hibernation capability will not standby but always hibernate.
Also, a simple checkbox to either go to background or stay in the task bar would be nice.
Thanks for the program tho, it is just what I needed and at the top of the google search.
