hi,

i hope its possible to add a line into the regtweaks.reg

or runonceex.cmd or something like that to

turn the screensaver off and disable all energy settings

(monitor off after 20min...)

why don't you do it the easy way??

Oh I'm sorry... thought the wrong thing... Pardon me my mind is elsewhere today.

its possible. I think I've done it - I need to find it for you.

Get a registry compare program and test it out....that will make tweaking a lot easier.

Set what you want on your computer in the Power setting from the control panel.

When everything is like you want, click "Save as" and save it as <filename>.pow

run:

powercfg /IMPORT <power setting name> /file <complete path to filename>.pow

You'll need the powercfg from pre-sp2, search the forum for it.

turn the screensaver off...

;for German XP

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop]

"SCRNSAVE.EXE"="(Kein)"

works fine here!

sorry didn't find anything to turn powersaving off via registry

You can set the current power policy via the following registry entry.

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg]"CurrentPowerPolicy"="2"           ;Power Scheme (Default="0")                                  ; "0" = Home/Office Desk                                  ; "1" = Portable/Laptop                                  ; "2" = Presentation                                  ; "3" = Always On                                  ; "4" = Minimal Power Management                                  ; "5" = Max Battery

The actual settings are stored as Binary values PowerPolicies\[Policy Number]\Policies key.

The Advanced and Hibernate options are stored in the following registry key:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy\Policies

have tried a few things,

disable the screensaver works fine,

but it dont matter which reg-setting i use

(those, who was detected by a reg-tracer when i

change the energy options), the settings wouldnt change...

so i generate a little popup at the end of my runonceex:

REG ADD %KEY%\060 /V 4 /D "rundll32 shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL powercfg.cpl" /f

or has somebody another solution for that?
