Power Settings

Power Settings can be found and changed in the registry. These settings are on a per user basis so each user has to be changed or the default can be changed prior to any profile creations.

The key is: [HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\PowerCfg]
"CurrentPowerPolicy"="3"

Set the key value to the desired profile (profiles are listed in the same registry directory)

0 - Home/Office desktop
1 - Portable/Laptop computer
2 - Monitor on for presentations
3 - Network computer (no Wake-on-LAN)
4 - Optimized for high performance
5 - Optimized for power saving

Custom settings can be created and imported as well.
