andybaines Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Anyone have any ideas on how/where to make the...Start> Settings> Control Panel> Power Option...Power & Sleep keys do "Do nothing" cos we've got a batch of motherboards and the kids have worked out that if they press power or sleep they turn off but dont come back on so they get to do no work.Anywhere in the registry or something like that..?Any advice/info welcomeThankyouAndy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted June 24, 2005 Share Posted June 24, 2005 Did you tried to select the option "Do nothing" ????(the first of the list for each key)That's in "Start> Settings> Control Panel> Power Option", "Advanced" tabbye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andybaines Posted June 27, 2005 Author Share Posted June 27, 2005 Yeah but it doesnt seem to save the settings once the next person logs in, Im trying to find a way to set this during boot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delprat Posted June 27, 2005 Share Posted June 27, 2005 Look in the "Unattended Windows" forum : you'll need to record the changes in the registry when you change this option, then copy them into HkLM to make it a per-machine setting (if "per-machine" is not taken into account, you'll need to copy it to the default user)(maybe someone has alredy tried that : look first in the "registry tweaks" threads)bye Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
