Enabling hibernation in Windows 7

I love hibernating. Conjuring up images of bears, caves and snow, it just makes the experience of turning on your PC or laptop, well, instant.

But I couldn't work out why I couldn't set it up on a particular PC. I tired enabling the related setting in the BIOS. No luck. But then I stumbled on this article, and all was well. Seems there's an obscure setting inside Windows Power Settings called Hybrid Sleep. turn if off and you can hibernate to your hearts delight!
