The Microsoft answer is to use powercfg.exe; see
<http://support.microsoft.com/?id=324347>.  Good luck finding a copy
if you are just an end user.

Justin Beckley has contributed a script which I will probably bundle
in the next release.  It simply modifies HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Control
Panel/PowerCfg/CurrentPowerPolicy to have a value between 0 and 5,
which supposedly sets power management according to the following
table:

                            Turn Off               System
                        ---------------------------------------
                        monitor   hard disk    standby  hibernate
 
  0 - Home/Office Desk - 20 min.   Never       Never     Never
  1 - Portable/Laptop  - 15 min.   30 min.     20 min.   3 hrs.
  2 - Presentation     - Never     Never       Never     Never
  3 - Always On        - 20 min.   Never       Never     Never
  4 - Minimal Mngt.    - 15 min.   Never       Never     Never
  5 - Max Battery      - 15 min.   Never       20 min.   45 min.


I am not sure where Justin got this from, but hey, if it works...

To change it for one user, you can right-click on it, select
"Properties", and then "Move...".

You can script this change using WSH's CreateShortcut method (which is
badly named; it also lets you modify an existing shortcut):

To change it for all users, the best I can find is:

But this uses "folder redirection" which may not be what you want.

The Microsoft answer to this one, I think, is to use the "Connection
Manager Administration Kit" (cmak), which is part of adminpak.msi.
You can find the latter on the Windows 2000 Server (or Server 2003)
CD-ROM and possibly for download from Microsoft.

I do not have any more details; sorry.

You might have better luck with these questions on one of the
Microsoft newsgroups.
