Please briefly describe the following shut down options: Log off, Switch user, Sleep, and Hibernate.

What will be an ideal response?

- You can use the Log off option or Switch user option in situations where multiple users access the computer. The Log off option leaves the computer on, but closes your files so that the next person who logs on cannot access them. Switch user is applicable if you want to stay logged in while another person also uses the computer.
- Use the Sleep option when you're planning not to use your computer for a short time and want it to reactivate quickly. Sleep mode keeps open programs and data files in memory, but puts the computer into a low-power state.
- The Hibernate option saves a record of the programs and files that you have open, but closes them before turning off the computer. When you next turn on the computer, your session is restored.
