Title: RE: Configuring Power Management Settings

#include <std_disclaimer.h>;


This is (usually) a two-part process:

1) Disable any BIOS power management via your CMOS setup interface.

2) Disable power management in Windoze.

Try Setting the following:
HKEY_USERS\\userssidgoeshere\\Control Panel\\PowerCfg\\
        Value: CurrentPowerPolicy
        Type:  REG_SZ
        Data:  2    (as a string)


and copying this value:

HKEY_USERS\\userssidgoeshere\\Control Panel\\PowerCfg\\PowerPolicies\\2\\
        Value: Policies
        Type:  REG_BINARY
       

to here:

HKEY_USERS\\userssidgoeshere\\Control Panel\\PowerCfg\\GlobalPowerPolicy\\
        Value: Policies
        Type:  REG_BINARY



Then, have the user log off and back on.   The settings should take effect. 



HTH... :)

Anyone used Perl to configure power management settings on a Windows machine?

Specifically I am wanting to set the setting that tells the display not to power off while the computer is plugged into the wall.
