CHAPTER 1 GETTING STARTED WITH WINDOWS VISTA
Putting Your Computer to Sleep
When you’re not using your computer, you can either put it to sleep (as described here) or shut
it down completely (as described in the next section). Putting your computer to sleep lets you
keep your programs and documents open so that you can resume work (or play) when you
reawaken your computer.
Before you put your computer to sleep, it’s a good idea to save all open documents, just in case
your computer suffers a problem while asleep or restarting. (For example, the power might go out.)
To put your computer to sleep, click the Start button, and then click the Power button on the
Start menu, as shown here.
