Power Management on Control Panel

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.general (More info?)

Hello,

Under control panel, switch to the classic view by clicking the 'Switch to classic view' linkon the
left pane. You should be able to see the power options icon now. In the power options applet, flip
to the advanced tab and put a check next to 'Always show icon on the taskbar'. Ok your way out.

Thank you very much. This certainly helped me find my Power Options icon.

One further question: Is there any way to make the Power Options icon
appear under Categories View in the Control Panel? Or will I only be able to
see this icon in the Classic View?

Once again, thanks for the help!

Normally it is visiable under 'Other control panel icons' (at the bottom) in "Performance and
maintenance" section of the control panel in the category view. Did you check there ?
