In Vista, hibernation is not an easy option to switch off so to get rid of the hiberfil.sys you need to disable it.

To disable hibernation

In Vista > Click the start menu and in the search bar at the bottom type cmd – right click on the cmd icon and choose Run as Administrator.

At the command prompt type:

powercfg -H off 

To re-enable hibernation

In Vista > Click the start menu and in the search bar at the bottom type cmd – right click on the cmd icon and choose Run as Administrator.

At the command prompt type:

powercfg -H on

In Windows XP and 2000, you need to go to Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options > Hibernate. Disable or enable as necessary in there. Remember to reboot your PC once complete.
