Re: Power options for Log-on screen?



It's held in the Local System account profile at:

HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop

Don't confuse HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT with the default user profile in the Default User folder under Documents and Settings. HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT is the Local System or the Machine\Workstation profile, this hive is stored in %systemroot%\system32\config\default.

The Default User account stored in the Documents and Settings folder is just a template used when you create new user accounts, when a user is created the new user's profile is copied from the Default User profile. Any changes that you make there will not apply to already existing users or to the Local System profile, they will only apply to new users created after the changes.

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.
