For the hibernation mode you can also just hit the turn off computer button in the start menu and you will see an option called stand by. If you hit the shift key It will say Hibernation instead of standby.

I've never been able to get the invisible folder to work. I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but cannot figure out what it would be.
