Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.configuration_manage (More info?)
I need to disable standby on all the workstations in my network. all XP Pro
sp1 machines. I'm trying to find out where this info is held in the
registry, it seems that it should be under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\PowerCfg If I just try to change the CurrentPowerPolicy key to 3
"Always on" It will change the monitor and hard drive settings, but not
affect standby or hibernate in the power options dialog box. I've tried to
snapshot the registry during the change and this is the only place I see
anything changing, yet if I replicate teh changes on an other machine (like
the whole branch of HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control
Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\3) it still doesn;t change the standby
settings. What am I missing here? This is a serious problem as standby is
breaking my legacy database app.
