Is it safe to simply close out all of your open programs on a Vista laptop and then close the lid to put it to sleep? I have been doing this lately rather than going through the standard shutting down process by going to the Start icon and selecting "Turn Off" the computer. This method seems to put the laptop into hibernation....and makes startup quick and easy. If there is no harm in doing this, how often should the laptop be rebooted? Once a week? My wife uses her iMac several times a day and reboots only when absolutely necessary--possibly once a month. Can a new Vista laptop be treated with the same nonchalance? -- Gordon Walter Retired AGWSR School Librarian 101 Hilltop Drive Ackley, Iowa 50601 Tel: 641-847-3315 Email: gordonwalter@mchsi.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- Please note: All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
