tweak for hiberfil.sys on another drive?

[Mainframeguy]

Now at the moment I shut down with power off and just satisy myself with tweaking for a fast shutdown and reboot.... but I was thinking about hibernation since I use that on my less critical notebook.... OK call me paranoid, but I was thinking if I could have my hibernation file on my secondary (first line backup) HD I would have a warmer feeling.

But when I search the registry I comes up with nada - except exclusions for file from backup.

Anyone know of a tweak? I'm off to google but thought I would ask here too to share and because I know the answer is often here...

Never heard of something like this, although it would be nice if it were possible.

One, want more just ask.

Hmm...I don't see anything about moving hiberfil.sys on that page, Lee.
It just shows you how to turn it off.

'fraid netryder is correct Lee - in fact I had already seen that page on another matter (found the hiberfil was "in use" on another pooter when I tried to do something... )

sorry just coperniced this and got what i posted as first one, didn't read all sections, some tweaks here haven't read it all but seems to be most relevant in copernic.

full marks for trying - thanks, but this is still just a tweak to turn it off, at risk of repetition what I am after is to USE it BUT with the file on a different disc from Windoze (IE not my bootable HD) such that if things went phut I could, in theory, recover my drive contents an re-emerge from hibernation intact. A long shot I know, but maybe I was feeling ambitious in my tweaking today
