[xadamz23]

Hello,

I am having trouble finding a way to change the power scheme used at the Logon Screen.

Im sure its just a reg setting.

Anyone know how to change it???

Thanks in advance

P.S. Im running Windows XP

Bit confused

What do you mean by power scheme?

When you go into the Control Panel then Power Options. I want the monitor to turn off after 20 minutes. I want this to happen when the PC boots up and goes to the logon screen.

Hope that helps

now i am confused.

You say "I want the monitor to turn off after 20 minutes" and then you say you want it off at "log on"

Right click dektop>select properties>screen saver then click on the power tab

Now click on "Turn off monitor after X Mins

That works fine for MY profile. What I want is to have this happen when the PC is powered on and NO ONE has logged in.

I think I found it.

Reg key:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\PowerCfg

Value:

CurrentPowerPolicy

0 = Home/Office Desk

1 = Portable/Laptop

2 = Presentation

3 = Always On

4 = Minimal Power Management

5 = Max Battery

I wont be able to test this until I get home, but hopefully it works.
