Changing power settings

You can change power management settings, such as the power button function
and power-saving timers, by changing power settings in Windows. You can also
adjust power schemes and adjust advanced power settings.
Power schemes (groups of power settings) let you change power saving options
such as when the monitor or hard drive is automatically turned off. You can
select one of the defined power schemes or create a custom power scheme.
Advanced power settings let you assign different power saving modes to the power
button.
