What nearly everyone does is they simply close the lid on their laptop when they have finished work. You can change what closing the lid does, but sleep or hibernate are the usually preferred choice. If you choose sleep, then as you know you get an almost instant start up.No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?1

Same here.

BTW - locking it first (Ctrl+Al+Del or Winkey+L) before closing the lid has always seemed to be OK for me.Jenni x0 -
Not a work machine in my case.
On one occasion, I closed the lid expecting a machine to sleep and put it in a laptop bag. Took it out of the laptop bag a few hours later. The case was too hot to touch and the fans were screaming.
I've also been woken up by laptops that were asleep but have woken up to run scheduled tasks etc..
And on being the IT department, machines that are never shutdown are a PITA.
Also, if running any kind of disk encryption (BitLocker etc..), a machine that is asleep but not shutdown has the disk effectively decrypted. (Disk encryption is encryption of data when it is at rest).
