As I said in my original post, Spangles, my desktop is turned off at the end
of use. I will put it into sleep mode if I'm going to be away for half an
hour or so, but never any longer. If I'm away for a couple of hour the
machine is shut down completely. My laptop is treated in the same way.
Strangely, whenever I do put the machine into sleep or hibernate I can
never, once I come out of sleep or hibernate, log on to the internet again;
I have to reboot completely, so sleep and hibernate are not really much use
to me.
