Hibernation
NOTE: Make sure that the hibernation feature is enabled in the Hibernate tab of the Power Options Properties from the Control Panel in Windows XP.
Hibernation is a very useful feature. People frequently open many applications when they use computers. It takes some time to get all these applications open and running, and normally they all have to be closed before the system can be turned off.
When you use the hibernation feature, you do not have to close the applications. The computer stores the state of your computer to a file on the hard disk and then shut down. The next time you turn on your computer, you return to exactly where you left off.
Manual Power Management
You can manually initiate hibernation at any time by pressing the power
button 
and releasing it in less than 4 seconds with the system on. Repeat the action to wake up the system under hibernation.
