16 Nov 09 Windows 7 – hiberfil.sys

If you are using a desktop like I am and you dont “hibernate” your system, then you may want to turn this feature off. I have 12 Gb of RAM so this saves ~9 Gb on my C: drive. Heres how you save the space:

1. Click on Windows 7 Start Button
2. Go to All Programs-> Accessories
3. Now right on Command Prompt and select “Run as Administrator” from context menu.
4. Type "powercfg -h off" without the quotes

Thats all and hopefully it helps someone else out there…
