| Hi Ricardo,
There are several thousand API calls, from which I have about 1000 described on this web site. Of course there may be some functions missed :)
I may assure you, I'm working on it. My point, every function must have a usage sample. | |

| How then do you disable any power saving features including turning off hard disks, monitors, standby and hibernate?
I have a tough time with customers who let their systems do this and it shuts down my program. | |

| Most likely it can be done through modifying Power Schemes: functions Get/SetActivePwrScheme, WritePwrScheme.
I have not looked into those yet. Can make a good subject.
The Power Schemes are stored somewhere in the Registry and probably can be accessed directly. | |
