that file is created by the hibernation process. if you don't use

Hi
If you don't need/want to use Hibernation - right click on the Desktop, select Properties and then the Screen Saver tab. Click on the Hibernate tab and then disable 'Enable hibernation' - Apply>OK your way out. The hiberfil.sys is then automatically deleted - no need to manually delete it - it has already gone!!
