I disabled Hibernation in Win 7 a couple of weeks ago.
I verfied this by viewing
START--->Dropdown menu
shows now "hibernate" entry.
When I look now on C:\ then I can see
- hiberfil.sys is still existing
- hiberfil.sys is still updated (last modified date=today)
How else can I check if hibernation is really, really disabled?
When I disable Hibernation is hiberfil.sys automatically deleted?
If not: Can I delete it manually?

Did you disable using the command prompt? Goto Windows system,, command prompt, run as administrator and enter the command:
powercfg /hibernate off
You may need to reboot afterwards but you should find the file deleted. If not you can delete it manually.

Ok, it worked.
But the curious thing is that "Hibernation" was NOT listed in START Button-Actions.
This indicates normally "Hibernation=disabled".
So it seems Hibernation was NOT disabled despite the mssing menu
That's odd

I don't think so. Sleep works without the hiberfile.

Very interesting.
The article describes that Sleep can be turned on (only ?) in BIOS:
Does that mean that I can use that feature afterwards in Win7 but I have to enable it explicitely (as a second step)
in windows like:
powercfg -sleep on
How can I enable hybrid sleep?
