Using Suspend Mode
Suspend, available in Windows 95, is a power management feature that lets
you leave your computer on in a power-saving mode. When your computer

faxes and perform automatic tasks you have scheduled. When you exit
Suspend, the computer returns to the state it was in without going through
the normal startup routine.
1. Save and close any open files to prevent data loss in the event of a
power failure.
2. Click Start , and then click Suspend on the Start menu.

indicating that the computer has entered Suspend mode.
