Hey there... (i have a notebook) I have noticed that unless you have three
powerplans, the system tray icon doesn't really help.

I wish i could RENAME power plans at will

I wish that clicking on the system tray icon for power settings gives more
than three options. The alternative is that i open up the power settings and
UNHIDE the HIDDEN profiles... but why are they hidden?! they're pretty good!

Maybe a compromise would be to have a tick box by each one (in the settings)
so that those ticked will appear on the 'quicklist'.... this way, when you
click on the icon in the system tray, you get a choice of profiles as long as
you want!

I hope you like the idea.

If you open up your powerplans. you can customize your three levels of power
plan the way you want them.
After you have set them up, you can switch between them at will. on my
notebook, I set up the power plan for "Performance (Modified)" when I am at
home, and "Portable (modified)" whem I take it out. All you have to do is go
into power options, and under each option, click, "Change Setting Plans," in
the blue text.

Hope this helps :-)
 
All I want is to be able to turn off hard drive power off in the power
plan.........
cannot be done.
