Getting Hibernate Back

Hibernate was perhaps the most important option on my old laptop as it had a very bad battery. So if I need to take it off power, I had to Hibernate.

After I got my new Laptop with Vista, I currently use Sleep, but I still missed Hibernate during some situations. Obviously I tried searching the first couple of days, then gave up as I never could find the option that was supposed to allow me to enable Hibernate.

I was working on some stuff on my blog redesign when I found a blog entry by Deepesh(why don't you enable trackbacks on your blog, Deepesh) that had a solution.

Open a Command Window with Admin Access (My preferred way, type cmd in Start->Search, right click the shortcut, then choose Run as Administrator)

Type

powercfg /hibernate on

That's it, you now have Hibernate on your shutdown options.

Sir

Why no comment about SL 2, .NET 4.0...?

.NET 4.0 is at a nascent stage. Not enough information. I think most probably we will have more information after the PDC. AFA SL is concerned, I have not yet worked too much on that. I mostly blog about things I work with or sometimes things that I find very interesting.
