Thank you for all the info. I made a .reg file that
changes the registry in 3 places where I believe the
power management settings are and it run in a batch file
placed in the logoff and shutdown dialogs of the Windows
GPO. I isolated the keys and values using regmon
(registry monitor). I have yet to be able to test
thoroughly, but it appears to work on my XP desktop
machine, and did not work on a an XP laptop. My feeling
is that I'll have to re-isolate entries for laptop
machines because of the extra battery settings. I will
be testing the .reg file on 2k machines today. Thanks
