W2K Pro WS. I need to know how to set the Power Options "Power Schemes" so that when I set them as administrator it will be the default for all users. As it is right now if I set it as admin. it will not hold for all users and also all users who arenot admin equivelant can not change the "Power Schemes" and be able to save them.

Thanks in advance.

Power options are profile sensitive. Set up your machine under administrator's profile. Then use the copy tool (System Properties, user profile tab), copy the local admin profile to the default user's profile. All new users will retain the default user's security context, but use the admin profile settings.

first set the users profile that you'd like to change than set the users profile as mandatory changing so that they won't be able to change the setting and that should take care of the problem. The file is under \document settings\username\ Ntuser.dat change it to Ntuser.man

good luck.
