It is really easy to find the file using windoze 3.11 filemangler.  Just make
sure you are looking at all files including hidden and system files (etc)
The file is something like pm_hiber.bin and is located in c:\
The only problem that you might have is that the computer recreates the file
each time it is booted up.

You can use the space easily if you can keep the file off the disk.
