Laptop Reverts To Old Power Settings

This is trivial but maddening: I have modified the
default Power Settings on the Screen Saver tab in Display
properties many times to extend the Standby time under AC
power to 2 hours. Whenever I Shutdown the laptop,
though, a little gremlin goes in and switches it back to
25 minutes! I never get to see my wonderful screen saver
(it's set for 30 minutes of idle time). Any ideas? What
utility would switch the Power Settings?? I've even
saved over the default name (PowerSuite Settings) but
still, it remembers. Could this be some do-gooder
firewall or anti-virus program gone over the edge?

Thanks,
Roger
 
Isn't there a fight between the Power Settings of the laptop itself and
those you set on the screen saver tab in Windows XP?
