Setting or Changing a Power Scheme
The Power Schemes tab in the Power Options window 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. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options.
2. Select the Power Schemes tab.
3. Select the power scheme you wish to modify, and adjust the
options in the lists on the screen.
4. 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. Select Start > Control Panel > Performance and
Maintenance > Power Options.
2. Select the Advanced tab.
3. Select the check box for Prompt for password when the
computer resumes from standby.
4. Select Apply.
For more information about using security passwords, refer to
Chapter 12, “Security.”
