In XP, look in the Control Panel under Power Management. Enable Hibernate. Then, on the shutdown menu, you will see: Shutdown, Reboot, and Hibernate.

If you choose, Hibernate it will write out to C: an exact copy of your RAM. When you boot, it will not do a normal boot loading XP and software, instead it will take the disk image and put it back into RAM. You should be exactly where you were.

If you have 4Gb of RAM, you will need 4Gb free on your C: drive. You will find a hidden system file used for it call Hiberfil.sys.

That should get you started.

* Note that rebooting from time to time is a good idea for a PC. Otherwise, Windows updates, virus updates, other updates may doom your system and it could be months before you find out that something has hosed your system. By the time you get hosed, you will have no idea what caused it.
