Re: Power options for Log-on screen?

The options from the last logged in user is what it set. The "default" profile is what gets copied when a new profile is created.

Hi all,

I am setting up my power options on my XP box and I have everything set to
Never. I don't want anything to ever turn off. I would like this to be the
default for everyone so, I have setup my power settings using the
Administrator account, and then copied the administrator profile to the
default profile. However, when I log out, the log-on screen seems to have
it's own power settings, as when I leave it at the log-on screen and I am
away from my computer, the monitor shuts off.

Does anyone know where the power settings for the log-on screen are set?

Any help is appreciated, thanks.
