Sleep and Hibernate

Power management settings
can be found in the Windows
> Control Panel > Hardware
and Sound
> Power Options. In
Power Options, you can define
Sleep/Hibernate or Shut Down
for closing the display panel or
pressing the power button. Sleep
and Hibernate saves power when your Notebook PC is not in use
by turning OFF certain components. When you resume your work,
your last status (such as a document scrolled down half way or email
typed half way) will reappear as if you never left. Shut Down will
close all applications and ask if you want to save your work if any are
not saved.
