Power policy settings

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the power policy settings on XP workstations using
Group Policy?

I've got about 500 PCs in a dentist setting. First the screensaver kicked
in, making it impossible for the dentist to look at the X-Rays on the
screen. Disabling that in a Group Policy was simple. Now the Power
Management Setting is the big problem. After 20 minutes the screen switches
off. Aarrggghhhh! It shouldn't. Somehow I can't find how to manage this
centrally, but I don't want to walk along 500 PCs, nor do I want to give
dentists or dentist-students the right to change things.

Help!

Thanks in advance,

Evert
