Default What are the large fluctuations in drive free space?

To see how much space restore points are using, see our blog post at

It could be partly System restore,part page file if not set to a specific
size and part hiberfil.sys which is the file created by Vista's power
management scheme.


How can I check how big these files are?

I don't see a setting to control the hard drive space devoted to system
restore, as one could do in Windows XP.

My paging file is set to 1024 MB, but I haven't been changing it.

I hadn't turned on hibernation when the computer was in Windows XP and
hibernation seems to be a component of sleep in Vista, so I'm not sure
which settings are involved.
