In Windows XP, Hibernation mode is a powered-off state in which the contents of the RAM is dumped into a file at the root of the Windows drive (usually C). When this mode is selected, the contents of active memory are copied directly to a file, and immediately reloaded upon start up, letting you pick up directly where you left off, in most cases. Sometimes this causes undesirable operation, or if your computer is set to hibernate in the event of a low battery, applications can crash, causing valuable data to be lost. This article describes how to disable the hibernation feature altogether on your machine.

Tips
- For saving some battery energy for a laptop, if you want to turn off only the monitor then you can set "Power Options" to do that, or
- you may even turn off both the monitor and the hard drive after "different or the same" set lengths of time, but the CPU can remain awake.
Warnings
- Do not do this to a computer that is not yours without asking the owner first.
