With Windows Vista, the default "off" state is the Sleep power state. Press the power button on the Start menu or on your PC, and your PC will automatically save your current session to memory, and then quickly enter into a very low power state. It will also save your session to the hard drive, so you can access it even if the memory loses power. Then, when you want to resume your computer use, just press the power button on your PC and your last session will appear.

Putting your PC to sleep can save time and power, and protect your work.
