Where did Hibernate button go?

I could be wrong, but i think Vista killed 'hibernate' and 'standby' and
just goes with 'sleep' to take care of both functions. Although it's not
quite the same..

Whether or not I'm right about that, give this a go.

mine defaults to Hibernate when on battery, to sleep when plugged in

The screen shot shows the same options I have on my Vista Ultimate pc.
I don't think there is a hibernate option on that menu. But you ca
configure whether or not hibernation is enabled or disabled by thi
command: powercfg -h [on|off

Hi,
I have always been hibernating my laptop whenever i want to, but recently I
cant see the Hibernate option in the shutdown options. I see "switch user",
"logg off", "lock", "restart", "sleep", "shutdown", but no hibernate. Have I
messed up my power plan profile?

well as the vista help puts it, it really sounds like there is going to be
no hibernation button on my pc, whereas I've been myself cliking on the
hibernate button and hibernating my pc. Now it doesnt show up and the
documentation says :

"In earlier versions of Windows, standby saves your work to memory and puts
your mobile PC into a power-saving state. Hibernate also puts your mobile PC
into a power-saving state but saves your work to your hard disk so that you
can safely turn off your mobile PC. This version of Windows combines standby
and hibernate into a single power-saving state called sleep."

The link that you mentioned seems to be discussing just the right issue with
me. It says if you accidentally wiped out *hibernation file cleaner* in Disk
Cleanup than hibernation mode can stop working. I remember wiping out things
with disk cleanup cuz i was running out of space

Thanks
