Turn off Hibernate in Vista

Switching Hibernate on/off in Windows XP was easy, go to control panel then power options and the last tab gave you options for Hibernate.  IN Vista it is a different story… they removed the option altogether from the power setting dialogs.  If you are like me and do not use this feature open a command prompt and execute the following:

powercfg.exe /hibernate off



This will not only turn off Hibernation, but will also give you back anywhere from 2-4 GB of disk space.

I prefer the instant on to the hard drive space saving. Vista is ready to go before my monitor is even on :)

In other news, a friend sent this and I thought you might like it.
