The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Power settings - POWERCFG query

Asked by bluebirds1984 in Windows XP Operating System, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, Miscellaneous Programming

Hi,

I've found a few websites that show how to create power profiles for PCs/Laptops. I basically want to have certain power settings for all users using local policy to run the batch file containing the following code
"""""
POWERCFG /CREATE NewPower
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /monitor-timeout-ac 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /monitor-timeout-dc 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /disk-timeout-ac 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /disk-timeout-dc 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /standby-timeout-ac 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /standby-timeout-dc 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /hibernate-timeout-ac 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /hibernate-timeout-dc 0
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /processor-throttle-ac ADAPTIVE
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /processor-throttle-dc ADAPTIVE
POWERCFG /CHANGE NewPower /
POWERCFG /SETACTIVE NewPower
"""""
I have a couple of questions.
What do the following do /processor-throttle-ac ADAPTIVE
                                         /processor-throttle-dc ADAPTIVE

I'm not bothered about the settings I can't change through the Power Options Properties, so can I leave those 2 out? the defauls will be fine.
Also I'd like to change the Advanced Power Buttons in the Power Options Properties to

Close lid - Do Nothing
Press Power Button - Shutdown
Press Sleep Button - Do Nothing

Is there code I can put in the script to change the above as well?

many thanks in advance
