screensaver settings & energy options


Recommended Posts


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.

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?
