| | Power Options - Disable Prompt for password when computer resumesfrom standby Is there any way to script enabling and disabling of this setting on the Advanced tab of the Power Options control panel applet? The script needs to apply to Windows XP Professional SP2. I've used regmon.exe to check which registry entries get modified when you apply the setting change but it is not clear which registry key is for the "Disable Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby" setting. I've also had a look through the WMI classes and although there is a Win32_PowerManagementEvent class, I can't spot anything that looks relevant to this setting. |

POWERCFG /GLOBALPOWERFLAG on /OPTION RESUMEPASSWORD To disable: POWERCFG /GLOBALPOWERFLAG off /OPTION RESUMEPASSWORD This might help you pinpoint the registry changes, or just use wscript.shell or call it directly from PowerShell to modify.

| | Re: Power Options - Disable Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby Registry key on Vista is ScreenSaverIsSecure (reg_sz type) - values 0 or 1 at HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop It may be similar on XP. but you'll probably need more than a registry change, for it to take effect. -- Jon <martinh.reg@xxxxxx> wrote in message news:1c529cde-fefa-434c-b4ae-ededc7fa50a6@xxxxxx Quote: > Is there any way to script enabling and disabling of this setting on > the Advanced tab of the Power Options control panel applet?

| | Re: Power Options - Disable Prompt for password when computer resumes from standby Sorry ignore that one. I misread your question - that was for resume after screen savers. Use powercfg as Marco suggested -- Jon |
