Estimating the term…
Advanced computer hibernation functions are useful in saving a user's work environment when a user logs off a computer. The current art requires powering off the computer when entering into hibernation, and only allows a user to store a single non-reusable hibernation file for use in restoring operation when the computer is subsequently powered on. The present invention allows hibernation files to be created and stored without requiring a user to power off the computer to enter hibernation mode. Once the hibernation files are created and stored, a user achieves faster shut down of the computer when the user enters into hibernation mode by selecting from one of the existing hibernation files for advanced hibernation mode. Multiple users are allowed to save multiple work environments or files while maintaining privacy regarding each user's work environments by requiring log on identification passwords for each user.
A method in a computer system including a hibernation mode for stating active files and programs during shut down, comprising the steps of:
A computer operating system including a hibernation mode for storing active files and programs during shut down, comprising:
A computer program having code recorded on a computer readable medium for enabling a user to store active files and programs during shut down in hibernation mode, comprising:
