Default Disable hibernation to delete hiberfil.sys?

I have no intentions of using the hibernation feature and would like to
reclaim the 2GB of disk space that the automatically created hiberfil.sys
file consumes. In WinXP and Win2K you could just disable the hibernation
feature and hiberfil.sys just disappeared. Doesn't seem to work the same
way in Vista. Am I missing something? Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Wayne

Disk Cleanup now has the option of checking the hiberfil.sys to remove it.
