How do I get the hibernation file back? I looked around in the advanced power properties last night and the option to turn sleep off was missing from the list of available options

Just for the record, I used to be able to hibernate my computer, but decided that I would never need it again, so one day when I was using disk cleanup, I clicked the hibernation file cleaner and just got rid of it. I was lead to believe that it would be a simple thing to get back.

1. Click Start Start button , click All Programs, and then click Accessories.
2. Right-click Command Prompt, click Run as administrator, type powercfg -h on, and then press ENTER.

That's a nice find Tirebiter. Thanks for the link. I was in the assumption that hybrid sleep mode was always available, but I can see now that it's not necessarily true. It might not be a big of a deal if one using a laptop, but if using a desktop the information will be lost if the power is lost...unless of course one is using an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).

It was a while ago I posted this and managed to solve the problem since then, thank you for your feedback anyway.
