Remove Hibernation in Windows Vista

Hibernation is not made unavailable when you set the value of the Hibernate after setting to Never by using the Power Options item in Control Panel.

To make hibernation unavailable, follow these steps:

1. Click Start, and then type cmd in the Start Search box.
2. In the search results list, right-click Command Prompt, and then click Run as Administrator.
3. When you are prompted by User Account Control, click Continue.
4. At the command prompt, type powercfg.exe /hibernate off, and then press ENTER.
5. Type exit, and then press ENTER.

    atualizações de drivers, perdi a funcionalidade do Hibernar, em que o sistema grava o conteúdo da memória RAM no HD e desliga completamente, deixando de piscar as luzinhas, como acontece no Dormir, Para tal, bastou o comando powercfg /hibernate on.Fonte,Dá pra gerenciar partições sem usar o Partition Magic ou Parted: clique com botão contrário em Meu Computador, selecione Gerenciar, Selecione na aba esquerda, a opção Gerenciamento de disco (dentro do ítem Armazenamento).

    Hi, One of the reasons I want to turn off Hibernate is that it takes up too much drive space.

    Does this command also remove the file that is created on the hard drive that contains the contents of memory?
