While hunting around for a solution to the "Do nothing" power option for when the laptop lid is closed being absent, I came across this:

By adding the registry keys:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Power\PowerSettings\4f971e89-eebd-4455-a8de-9e59040e7347\5ca83367-6e45-459f-a27b-476b1d01c936\3] "Description"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,\ 00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,\ 5c,00,70,00,6f,00,77,00,72,00,70,00,72,00,6f,00,66,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,\ 00,2c,00,2d,00,35,00,30,00,2c,00,54,00,61,00,6b,00,65,00,20,00,6e,00,6f,00,\ 20,00,61,00,63,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,6e,00,00,00 "FriendlyName"=hex(2):40,00,25,00,53,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,52,00,6f,\ 00,6f,00,74,00,25,00,5c,00,73,00,79,00,73,00,74,00,65,00,6d,00,33,00,32,00,\ 5c,00,70,00,6f,00,77,00,72,00,70,00,72,00,6f,00,66,00,2e,00,64,00,6c,00,6c,\ 00,2c,00,2d,00,35,00,31,00,2c,00,54,00,61,00,6b,00,65,00,20,00,6e,00,6f,00,\ 20,00,61,00,63,00,74,00,69,00,6f,00,6e,00,00,00

"SettingValue"=dword:00000000

the missing 'no action' option was available again (no reboot required)!!!

The value for 'Description' is: @%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-50,Take no action

The value for 'FriendlyName' is: @%SystemRoot%\system32\powrprof.dll,-51,Take no action
Click to expand...

But I have no idea how to do this. I have done some minor registry tweaking before, but they were for existing registry keys; this is adding new data, and I'm lost.

Can someone help, please?

Open notepad and paste that into a new document from the W in windows down to the last 0 in the SettingValue line.

Press ctrl+s to save then type laptoplid.reg for the filename. Select all files from the filetype box and save on your desktop.

Then double click this file.

This will result in a UAC dialogue followed by a warning. Accept both and the keys will be merged.

Okay, I'll try that.

The code does look safe, right? No bad stuff in there?

Lol, okay. Thanks for putting your own neck (your PC's neck?) on the line for me.

UPDATE: Oh, wait, no, that didn't work.
