Changing power plans shown on battery meter

I recently created a new power plan for my mobile PC, and based it off the
default 'Power Saver' plan. Once I created it, it replaced the Power Saver
plan on my battery meter.

However, I won't be using this plan nearly as much as I use the Power Saver
plan. I wanted to switch the two, so that my new plan will show up under
'Additional Plans' and Power Saver will be back on the battery meter.
However, I can't figure out how to do this. Is it possible to get Power
Saver back on the battery meter?

Thanks,

-Dave

Re: Changing power plans shown on battery meter

Can you do a system restore to a point before you made the change?

Re: Changing power plans shown on battery meter

You can also go back into Power Options and select Power Saver and click the
default setting or select your preferences there.And on the left side you can
"Create a power plan", base it upon Power Saver and give it a unique name.
