Setting or Changing a Power Scheme
The Power Schemes tab in the Power Options Properties dialog
box assigns power levels to system components. You can assign
different schemes depending on whether the notebook is running
on a battery pack or on external power.
You can also set a power scheme that initiates standby or turns off
the display or hard drive after a time interval that you specify.
To set a power scheme:
1. Access the Power Options Properties > Power
2. Select the power scheme you want to modify, and adjust
3. Select Apply.
Using a Security Password
You can add a security feature that prompts you for a password
when the notebook is turned on or resumes from standby or
restores from hibernation.
To set a password prompt:
1. Access Power Options Properties > Advanced tab.
2. Select the check box for Prompt for password when the
computer resumes from Standby.
3. Select Apply.
