New Windows desktop computer with full C drive? Check OS hibernate settings.

On my new work desktop computer with Windows 7, I noticed a 30Gb file hiberfil.sys filling drive C. Since I don’t use the hibernate function, I can disable it.

From a command shell as Administrator
G:\> PowerCfg.exe -H off

The file disappears.
