Windows will take command of the power management settings of your system. (Figure 3.4) There are three standard power schemes in Windows Me: Home/Office Desk, Portable/Laptop and Always On. Each provides default settings that

You can customize the settings to match your usage and save your own schemes (e.g. Airline Travel). The schemes allow you to set your com- puter to enter the standby mode, to turn off the monitor and to spin down the hard disk.
