Power Options change for Guest account

I

Incognitus

I use the Guest account for my 4 year old grand daughter to play games in.
The power options in the Guest account for turning the monitor off have
mysteriously changed from never to 20 min, I noticed it immediately after
rebooting from the admin account, it's always been set at never.

Anyone know a registry hack for changing the power options 'turn off
monitor' back to never from 20 min?

If I'm not mistaken, the Guest account doesn't have rights on the machine by
default, and therefore can't change power saving options (the default is 20
minutes). If you want to change it to Never you'll need to assign the Guest
account temporary admin rights, change it to Never, then change the rights
back.

Thanks, I wasn't aware I could assign admin rights to the Guest account.

I'll check into that.
