Re: POWER SETTINGS

Tracy,
You can use a quick vb script during user logon and set CurrentPowerPolicy = 2 in the HKCU hive. e.g.
-------

Const HKCU = &H80000001
strComputer = "."
Set objReg = GetObject("winmgmts:{impersonationLevel=impersonate}!\\" &_
strComputer & "\root\default:StdRegProv")

PowerCfgPath = "Control Panel\PowerCfg"
PowerCfgValue = "CurrentPowerPolicy"
PowerCfgData = "2"

objReg.SetStringValue HKCU,PowerCfgPath,PowerCfgValue,PowerCfgData

--------

Take a look at the free Energy Star EZ GPO tool which probably can do what you want via Group Policy. See more details at the link below. Powercfg may be another option as described in the second link. I believe it will work on XP SP2.

We are trying to set our tablets to never turn off for all users on a
network. Managed by a GPO that has no power settings in it. Can this be done
administratively? If so how? We have tried using the ntuser.dat file for all
users and the default user and it will not work.
