More hibernation love

My laptop takes an incredibly long time to boot and shutdown, even with 1 gig of RAM. Hibernation is much faster. Also, one of my desktops has a nifty feature: the BIOS detects when the PC is coming out of hibernation and will skip the POST checks to make it even faster.

For setting ClearPageFileAtShutdown there's a safer way than mucking about in the registry:

1. Open Control Panel/Administrative Tools/Local Security Policy

2. Navigate to Local Policies/Security Options

3. Enable the option "Shutdown: Clear virtual memory pagefile."

And lastly, for Frank Denton: Open the Power Options in the Control Panel, go to the Advanced tab and check "Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby."
