This parameter allows you to specify the primary role of the computer so that predefined power management configurations can be used. For example a laptop will have different power saving features than a home desktop PC.
Go to Start/Run/Regedit and find the key below.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg]

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg]

- 2 - Monitor on for presentations

From the developer: "PowerMenu adds some powerful new extensions to the windows system menu. It adds the following extensions: -Minimize windows to the system tray. Make windows overlap other windows (always on top). Set the parent process priority of windows. Set the transparency level of a window (Windows 2000/XP only). "Version 1.5.0 supports making console windows top most (under NT) and new command line options." Download Here.
