I'm confused as of why I am still unable to disable the Hibernate feature to save space (due to Hiberfil.sys is as big as the RAM) ?

Using the DOMAIN\Administrator login,I have followed the steps: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920730 and then followed by restart but then it is still exist ?

FYI: this is on Windows Server 2008 Standard Edition x64 with 4 GB RAM and some 4GB+

any help and suggestion would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I've always found the hibernate setting a little flaky. Here's how I disable it:

powercfg.exe -h on

powercfg.exe -h off

For some reason, enabling it (even if it's already enabled) and then disabling it seems to work.

many thanks for the answer Joe, yes you are right, the file then can be deleted manually if it is necessary. – Albert Widjaja May 23 '11 at 1:42
