Every single one of my power schemes in XP Home version have disappeared and
I want to know how to restore/create/set them again. I work from a laptop
and switch between Laptop scheme when on battery to Home Office scheme when
plugged in at home but I haven't done anything to warrant the total
disappearance of the power schemes. I'm very perplexed!!

First off, go to Start -> All Programs -> Accessories -> System Tools -> System
Restore and create a restore point before following the procedure outlined
below.

Now, go to Start -> Run and enter regedit.exe in the Open box. Click OK.
In the Registry Editor, click on the + signs in the left hand pane to navigate
to the following location.

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

Under this registry key you should see 6 subkeys numbered 0 through 5. These
represent the default power schemes that come with XP. Any subkeys numbered 6 or
more represent power schemes created by the user. If you find any numbered 6 or
more, right click on each one and select Delete from the menu. In the end you
should only have the subkeys numbered 0 to 5 remaining under the PowerPolicies
registry key.

Do the same for this registry key.

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Controls
Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies

If it turns out that this doesn't help with your problem, download and run this
registry fix.

Line 204, right hand column, Restore Power Schemes/Configurations

Hi Belle,

If you have Service Pack 2 installed, then see:

Power scheme options are unavailable on a Windows XP-based computer:
