OK, I have a computer that goes to sleep at the login screen. &nbsp;Once the user is logged in it uses the power options in her profile that has sleeping on &quot;Never&quot;. &nbsp;And is never sleeps. &nbsp;So I would like to know where are the options for power settings before a user logs in? &nbsp;Are they in the Default Users settings? &nbsp;

Pre-login power options in Windows XP

Microsoft Windows XP is the sixth release of the NT series of operating systems, and was the first to be marketed in a variety of editions: XP Home and XP Professional, designed for business and power users. The advanced features in XP Professional are generally disabled in Home Edition, but are there and can be activated. There were two 64-bit editions, an embedded edition and a tablet edition.
