How to Hibernate in Windows XP

1Make sure all necessary programs are closed prior to shutting down. Hibernating will put all programs to "sleep," but some programs won't start up properly. Experiment after this to figure out which programs perform as intended.

2Click on "Start" and navigate to "Shut Down."

3You will see the Shut Down dialog box.

4You will see three options--Standby, Turn Off or Restart.

5Hold down the "Shift" key on your keyboard and "Standby" will switch to "Hibernate."

6Click on "Hibernate" and your system will then go into Hibernation mode. It will take a few seconds to a few minutes to enter that mode, in which case your system will shut down.
