thnx for the informational post..

well, my intention is to keep the downloading stuff to work in nights even when the notebook’s lid is closed..

i’ve done the changes as per to your post, now i got to wait and watch whether the downloading thing continues even when the lid is closed or do i need to try out for some other technique…

am working on windows vista..

In XP, how is this done globally? This behavior seems to be user-specific. If Bob sets the laptop to do nothing when he closes the lid, Jill can set it to sleep when the lid is closed. Same thing for the time limits for when or if to standby at all.

I’ve been googling this and can’t find an answer, beyond, “Why does it matter? Who cares?”

I do! Here’s why:

I have a laptop that I want to use as a test box for our remote offices. I’ve logged into every local admin account and disabled sleep after time, and set do nothing on lid closure. Each one can have this set differently. So how do I set the behavior as a default? Because sitting at the loging screen, the system still goes to standby after 15 minutes of sitting at the login screen with the lid closed. And no one can remote login to it.

10 points for whoever can answer me that one!

Cheers!

Just wanted to say a quick thank you for the information. I’ve been wondering if this is possible as I always leave music playing when I’m out an about, and it’s annoying having to have the laptop open the whole time.

Cheers mate.

Mike.
