Is there any way to do this? I want to put this huge file on my larger
D drive.

There is nothing about this in the Help documentation or MS KB, and it's
not obvious as with the Page file.

Thanks in advance for help.

The hibernation file must be on the Windows partition.

Thanks for the response.

What is a Windows partition? I thought partitions were a feature of
Unix-based file systems?

Does this mean that (unlike the page file), hiberfil.sys must reside
on the C drive if the OS is on the C drive?

If so, I may just disable hibernation in order to free up that Gb on C.

If you don't use the hibernate function, disable it. The file will be
deleted automatically.

They may be, but they are also a feature of DOS-based and Winodws-based
systems.

Yes.

If you don't use the feature, certainly disable it. It's just wasting the
disk space otherwise.

Thanks for clarification.

I don't use Hibernate very much, and I can make due with Standby.

Please, could you also take a look at another question that I posted two
days ago: "DNS domain suffix on connection properties not retained".

Sorry, I don't keep already-read messages and have no easy access to
messages that aren't current. I can't remember whether I saw your question
then, but if I did, presumably I didn't know the answer. If you'd like to
ask it again, go ahead.
