The powercfg command can help you with this. You can also use Group Policy
Preferences to help with this.
Here is a snippet from a script I created a few years ago to help adjust this
(after looking at this script again, there is a lot of room for improvement,
but it should get the job done for now):
$PowerSchemeGUIDBalanced = @('Balanced',
'381b4222-f694-41f0-9685-ff5bb260df2e')
$PowerSchemeGUIDHighPerformanced = @('High Performance',
'8c5e7fda-e8bf-4a96-9a85-a6e23a8c635c')
$PowerSchemeGUIDPowerSaver = @('Power Saver',
'a1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a')
$PowerSchemeGUIDPowerButtonsAndLid = '4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347'
# this is the Subgroup GUID for "Power Buttons and Lid" retrieved from
powercfg -q
$PowerSchemeGUIDPowerButtonAction = '7648efa3-dd9c-4e3e-b566-50f929386280'
# this is the Setting GUID for "Power Button Action" retrieved from powercfg -q
$PowerSchemePowerButtonShutDown = '3'
# this is the Setting index for "Shut Down" in "Power Button Action"
retrieved from powercfg -q
$arrAllPowerSchemeGUIDs = @($PowerSchemeGUIDBalanced,
$PowerSchemeGUIDHighPerformanced, $PowerSchemeGUIDPowerSaver)
# This iterates through each built in power plan and makes changes to the
settings
foreach ($arrPowerSchemeGUID in $arrAllPowerSchemeGUIDs) {
# Sets the Power Button action to shut down the computer

Subject: [scripting] Powermanagement for win7
does any one know how do i change the options for "choose what closing the lid"
in win 7 using regkeys or script. I wanted to push this to the whole audiences
in our corporate level along with image deployment process.
The current setting they have is all "sleep"
I searched in forums and couldnt get the correct path...
looking for
1. Lid Close actions
2. Power button action
