August,

Some time long ago I tried Hibernating but just decided to always do a
regular shut down.

But as I wrote the above I got to thinking about how sometimes when I
start XP that little Cyber scanner thingy goes on and on and on.

Maybe I ought to go back into CP and turn Hibernating ON.

I can't remember if restarting from a Hibernation shut down will ask for
the password for the Users Account that I last used.

Now I have to hunt for one of those elusive ROUNDTUITS again.  ;-)
