control power settings via reg keys?

[Guest]

We have created our own custom GPOs for configuring the power settings on
laptops, but we are having a hard time figuring out how to set the following
two settings via the registry--do you know where these are located?

1. When I press the power button on my computer (we want to force the
option that says "ask me what to do". The default is currently Stand-by).

2. When I close the lid of my computer (we want to force the option that
says "hibernate". The default is currently Stand-by).

We are using the new HP tc4400 tablets.

We figured it out. It's in:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\GlobalPowerPolicy

You just need to use the correct value/sequence of 352 characters to get it
locked down correctly via GP. To get the correct sequence, configure one
image exactly the way you want and use the exact 352 character value that
shows in the "Policies" key in a custom GP.
