Ya thats true ... I'm talking the other tabs (note that changing power profiles only changes the timeouts and whatnot on the first tab, the other tabs in Windows power management are global irrespective of power profiles ... which annoys me somewhat because I wanted to set a power profile for "always on ignore panel" and one for "paranoid about the battery" and so on). These tabs have some overlap with hairy lightbulb features (such as what happens when the panel closes), it looks like they override the hairy lightbulb on my computer ... - Raymond --- /~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~\ | | "Does fuzzy logic tickle?" | | ___ | "My HDD has no reverse.
