Default How To Enable Windows Hibernation

Hi,

Under Windows 98, Me, or 2000 there was an option in the shutdown dialog box to enter the computer into hibernation (where all the content of the RAM is copied to the hard disk). The shutdown dialog box of Windows XP doesn't offer any longer the hibernation button. Some users may get confused about how to enable the hibernation mode. If this mode is supported by your motherboard (ACPI) you have to do the following:

1)Click Start and Shut Down,

2)Point the standby button and maintain the shift key pushed,

3)A new hibernation button appears: click it while still holding the shift key: voila your PC will hibernate.

Question Re: Windows Tips & Tricks

Hi Rajesh,

My friend's having an IBM laptop(forgotten the model). In that he has Windows XP as OS. It has a property, that it will go to hibernation state, if it has been closed or folded with out shutting down. But somebody has changed that property, so that nowadays it goes to standby state if its folded or closed without shutting down. How to set that hibernation property again. Can u help me??

Default Windows XP to directly access WebDAV "internet disks"

HI,

Windows XP can directly access WebDAV "internet disks" such as Apple's iDisk.

In Internet Explorer, use the "Open..." command, type the name of the WebDAV server you want to access (e.g., http://idisk.mac.com/username) and select the "Open as Web Folder" checkbox. Enter the password when prompted and you're in!

This trick also works on Windows Me and Windows 2000. Interestingly, Windows XP doesn't seem to support iDisk via the "Add a Network Place" command, possible with these other operating systems.

Once set up using the "Open" command, however, the idisk can be accessed by simply double-clicking its icon in the Network Places folder.

Default Reduce Temporary Internet F ile Space

Hi,
The temporary internet files clutter your hard drive with copies of each page visited. These can build up over time and take up disk space. Even more bothersome is that instead of getting new pages each time IE often takes the page out the temp internet files. This can be a problem if you are viewing a website that is updated all the time. If you are on a slow connection such as a 56K or lower then this can be good but if you are on a fast broadband connection, like me, then you can get away with decreasing the size of your temp internet files to just one meg without any performance decrease.

Launch Internet Explorer.

Select the Tools from the menu bar.

Then select Internet Options... from the drop down menu.

Once the internet options has loaded click on the general tab.

Under the temporary internet files section click the settings button.

A settings window will load. Slide the slider all the way to the left so the size indicated in the text box on the right is one.

Click OK

Click Ok
