Adjust power scheme under a limited user

[Magnum]

I am trying to find a way to adjust my power scheme while under a limited user account.

I want to set it to the same settings that I use on my Admin account.

Is there a way to accomplish it?

Thanks.

i turn all that stuff off - lol
probably the easiest way to accomplish what you want is to:
1) sign in under an account with admin privileges
2) adjust the privilege level (to "admin") of the account you want to modify
3) sign in under that account and make the changes
4) sign out of that account and sign back in as admin
5) change the privilege level of the account back to "user"

yah - that's the hard way - lol
i figured the other method was something anyone could do
for us programmers, the registry isn't an issue, but i try not to tell people to edit it - lol

I don't think you method would let a limited user modify the power scheme without editing the registry.

Of course I had to go from my limited user acct. to my admin to make the registry changes. :-)

Depending on your version of windows, you could use "Run as..." or "Run as administrator" on the powercfg.cpl file (since you know the admin username/password).

I have been using "Run as" to go to a shell and do things, but did not know that I can open various

Thanks a lot.
The webpage listed this. I like that it encodes passwords.
