Shut Down?

Neopolian · 01-01-2007, 06:34 AM

Hello everyone, I am fairly new to this forum. I do have a question though.

Okay, when I am using my computer, I usually have processes running for very long times on there own. Such as downloads, or anything like that. I am wondering if there is a program that shuts down my computer (hibernates), but still has these processes running. Is that possible, if so can I have a link?

Thanks

It's kind of hard to have processes running when you're shut down

No, it's not possible.

When you Hibernate your computer it takes the content of your RAM and saves it on your HDD then turns off, so you can restore the exact status of your computer when you turn the computer on again
so Hibernate is a shutdown but with saving the status before you shutdown.
