Can I remove "Hibernation" in Windows XP (Home)

I just read that one can do that in Windows Vista. So I tried it in Windows XP as per instruction giving for Windows Vista. Never use the hibernation feature anyway and it may very well take up too much space in my 'puter.

However, it doesn't show "hibernation" on the list.

If it can be removed from XP Home, how can I do that?

Thank you.

 

So hibernation is on, and you want it off? Should be in your power setings (right click on the screen, Properties, Screen Saver, then the Power button on the bottom right of the window.)

Are instructions to turn hibernation on with XP Home.

Use Halo's method, looks much easier.:-D

Thank you so much Halo and Fred! Followed Halo's instructions and now I saved 510 MB!! :-D

Now I have another question though.

When I want to turn off the computer I see "standby" button. Am afraid to click on it in case something happens that I can't fix. What is it for and how if possible, can I disable that one also?

Thanks.

 

Thank you so much Halo for your excellent explanation. Yeah, the "standby" is shown as "never". I never accessed the power properties until today! I'm learning so much on this forum!!
