Control Panel

[windoz]

Hi,

I have searched the forums but unable to find an answer to this problem.

We have a number of laptops which seem to have the monitor standby time set to 20 mins default. I have a script which can change the values in powercfg.cpl, can someone please show me how I can open control panel and then launch power options by using autoIT ?

Any help is appreciated,

windoz.

Ever hear of powercfg.exe from the command line?

Hi,

I have used the powercfg.exe but with user rights, sometimes they are unable to run command prompts...I mean I have all the code for changing the standby time to 'never' but no code for executing power options in control panel in autoit..

ShellExecute("Control.exe", @SystemDir & "\powercfg.cpl")

ShellExecute("Control.exe", @SystemDir & "\powercfg.cpl")

Hi,

Trying to run control panel under 'normal user' rights is limited. I am running the control panel as administrator, and then trying to run power options through that...everything is working apart from trying to use Autoit to find the power options within control panel and executing it....

So use RunAsSet() before you call this command.
