Hibernate Mode vs. Shutdown

Hibernate mode and Shutdown are the same in that the system is off and you need to
press the power button to turn it on. Their main difference is:
When you come back from hibernation, you can return to where you last left off
(what was on your desktop) without reopening the application(s) and file(s) you last
XP,
used.
You can use either method depending on your needs.

Stand by Mode vs. Hibernate Mode

If you want to stay away from your work for just a while, you can put the system on
Stand by instead of in hibernation. It takes a longer time to wake up the system from
Hibernate mode than from Stand by mode.
