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 computer is running
on battery or external power.
You can also set a power scheme that initiates standby or
hibernation, or turns off the display or hard drive after a time
interval that you specify.
To set a power scheme:
1. Right-click the Power Meter icon in the notification area,
and then click Adjust Power Properties.
2. Click the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the power scheme you want to modify, and choose
from the options listed on the screen.
4. Click Apply.
