How to trigger program after Windows PC returns from hibernate mode

  • 772

Is there an event that is triggered when a Windows 7 computer has been restarted after being put into hibernate which I can use to run a program - very much the same way the task scheduler would to, just not time based in this case, but event based?

It'd be easy to accomplish after system start, but I haven't found anything similar for a "return from rest mode" scenario.

I need to start an exe in order to send an email notification every time this happens.

    I've just test a little program I wrote years ago and it does work on Windows 7. When run it places an icon in the system tray. Right click the icon and select Configure. The rest should be obvious. Download it from here. (It's freeware and therefore comes with no warranties of any sort.)
