How can I locally set the System Standby function

[Guest]

Everytime I set up a new user I have to continuously set the System Standby
option in Power options of the control panel to Never. Is there a way in the
registry or Administrative tools I can set this option locally so i don't
have to repeat the process for every new user?

Thanks,

Hoe this helps, found it at http://www.theeldergeek.com/power_schemes.htm :

Individual User Settings

[Start] [Run] [Regedit]
Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg or HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\PowerCfg (for all new users after that point in time)
Modify/Create the Value Data Type(s) and Value Name(s) as detailed below.
Data Type: REG_SZ [String Value] // Value Name: CurrentPowerPolicy
Value Data: [Select from the following choices]
0 = Home/Office Desk
1 = Portable/Laptop
2 = Presentation
3 = Always On
4 = Minimal Power Management
5 = Max Battery
For a description of each scheme, look under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies in folders 0-5
Exit Registry and Reboot
