Power Button
On the Advanced tab of Power Options the Power buttons dialog box allows
you to set different actions to take when the power button is pressed. You
may have the Tablet PC standby, hibernate, or you can shut down the
computer altogether. You can also have the power button do nothing (not
recommended) or give you a choice between standby, restart and turn off.
However, holding the Power Button down for more than ten seconds will
force a power off while operating under any situation, resulting in the loss of
any unsaved information.
Standby
Most devices are powered down in a low power state. Resume the unit by
pressing the power button once to resume to point at which the unit was
suspended.
Hibernate
Suspend to Disk is similar to turning off the computer, except that the
current state of the computer is copied to the
hard disk
as a special file.
When the computer returns from
suspend mode

the same files and programs open as when the computer was suspended.
Suspend to Disk is very useful when you don't want to take the time to shut
down all open programs one by one to shut off the computer, only to have to
open the same programs and files the next time you use the computer. This
mode is also called hibernation mode.

the file will correspond to the amount of system memory. Please make sure
there is enough space on the hard disk.
