How to Activate Network Icon Animation Activity in Windows 7 ?

Windows 7 has a different kind of network activity icon in the system tray and unlike the Windows XP style network icon which blinks, the Windows 7 default icon does not show any activity. Network Activity Indicator is a freeware tool which displays the old 'two monitors' icon in Windows 7 that flashed blue to show network activity on the System Tray.

Unlike the original Windows XP utility (that has individual indicators for each interface), this program indicates outgoing and incoming network packets on all available interfaces. You can configure the blink rate of the icons in the system tray.

This utility is a standalone executable. Run the program, you'll see a new system tray icon. If you want to remove the default Windows 7 network utility, then open the notification center in control panel and select "Hide icon and notifications" for the default Windows 7 network icon.

gor Tolmachev of itsamples.com has developed a very small utility called Network Activity Indicator. It adds Windows XP Style Network Icon in System Tray which is Animated.

If you do not want to use Hibernate then this article is for you.

When you turn off your computer using hibernate, the operating system needs to store all your current running program states onto hard disk so that programs can resume where they left off when you power up your PC again. To achieve this, the OS need to save all the information into a file called hiberfil.sys. Windows OS (7, vista, XP) usually stores this as a hidden file under your C directory or your main OS partition.

So if you never use hibernate, than its time for you to get your hard drive space back.

[Note: Hibernate mode is not sleep mode. When hibernating your computer completely shuts down, however, under sleep mode your PC is not completely shut down; it still consumes a small amount of power.]

The best way to delete hiberfil.sys or disable hibernate:
Go to Start menu, type "cmd" open up command prompt
Type "powercfg.exe -h off" [make sure you are an Administrator]
ENTER
Type "exit"
ENTER

RESTART YOUR PC and you are all set

After restart you should be able to see more free space on your hard drive.
