I know there's a way to turn off hibernate and stop this file from being
created. I did a new install and now can't figure it out. I already have
my power plan, advanced, sleep, never on all sleep options. I tried to
manually delete the file and it won't let me. I don't think I had this
problem before and don't know what's different this time around. I have
admin privileges. There have been more than 1 funky things happened since
the new install. It's almost like a different OS. I have admin rights, but
sometimes it's as if I don't. I can't see for example a hidden folder in
program data. I have selected for folder views to show hidden files and
unchecked hide system files etc. I installed IconViewer which I used
before. It worked great. It adds an extra tab to file properties named
icons (If the file type has icons associated with it) and allows you to
change it. I have installed, uninstalled, installed. It just doesn't work.
It's a really basic program/add-on. Anyone, please help.



Thanks,

Steve
