Standby/Hibernation question?

Dennis Q. Wilson

I know that "hiberfil.sys" is the name of the image file used when
Windows XP goes into hibernation, but what's the name of the image file
(and in what folder is it created) when using the Standby feature
instead on shutting one's PC?

With Standby, the system shuts down your monitor, hard drive, and other
devices, but maintains power to random access memory (RAM). Your open
documents and applications are stored in RAM as if your system were fully
powered, so you can pick up where you left off very quickly. I have a
temperature monitor (external) that monitors my CPU while in standby, it
only cools slightly.

There isn't any.
