Control Panel Power Options applet in toolbar

[DRP535]

How can I get a shortcut tile in the TC toolbar to directly access the Power Options applet within Control Panel without having to first open Control Panel to click the Power Options one?

Copy code below and paste on your toolbar.

Code: Select all

TOTALCMD#BAR#DATA
powercfg.cpl

powercfg.cpl
Power Options


-1

If you want the Metro Settings dialogs you can use commands like

Code: Select all

ms-settings:powersleep
ms-settings:batterysaver

instead of powercfg.cpl

What are metro settings? Is that a Winblows 10 thing? I'm on Winborg 7 desktop and batterysaver setting and powersleep setting foes not sound relevent to me.

Yes - it is all those Apps introduced in Windows 8, and are not standalone executables. In my experience Metro Apps are considerably slower than . exe files (on older hardeware at least).

In Windows 10/11 most of the settings is now done via such Metro interface, and fewer and fewer settings can be performed via dood old Control Panel.
