Changes
add powercfg for win XP section
=== Allow Users to Change Power Settings ===
One of the most annoying things about Windows XP (and maybe later) is that users have to be in the admin group to change the power profile on their PC. This changes that!<br>
<remove cmd='"%SOFTWARE%\system\setacl.exe" -on "HKLM\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies" -ot reg -actn ace -ace "n:users;p:set_val,create_subkey;m:revoke"' />
<remove cmd='REG DELETE HKLM\SOFTWARE\xxxxx\wpkg\ /v "powerconfig" /f' />
</package>
</packages>
</source>
=== Configure Power Management with powercfg in Windows XP ===
Since Windows XP SP2 powecfg.exe can be used to manage Power schemes. This can be used as a GreenIT tool to manage the power consumption of the computers. This can be used in combination with [[PowerOff]] to shutdown computers at night if the hibernate mode is not used.
