Windows will take command of the power management settings of your
system. (Figure 3.4) There are three standard power schemes in Windows
Me: Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop and Always On. Each provides
default settings that
anticipate standard
power usage in each
setup. Your unit
should be set to
default to Portable/
Laptop settings. You
can customize the
settings to match
your usage and save
your own schemes
(e.g. Airline Travel).
The schemes allow
you to set your com-
puter to enter the
standby mode, to turn
off the monitor and
to spin down the hard
disk.
