What file do I transfer from the cd to restore the power management power
schemes? Thanks.

Daffy,
Did you not see my reply to your earlier identical post?

To restore the power scheme? What do you mean? Is the Control Panel option for
Power missing, or what? You need to supply a bit more info to clarify what is
"missing", or what doesn' work, and what is still there.

Details please.....

You can just create your own new schemes. I assume you must have deleted the
schemes that came with Windows 98 by default...the "Always On" power scheme,
Portable/laptop scheme and so forth? You can create your own scheme and name
them whatever you want, or name them Always On, Portable/Laptop, ect to
replace the default ones. You don't need to load them on from the Windows 98
installation CD.

As I wrote elsewhere, I usually access this group through the OE
newsreader but I wasn't able to view my posts. I'm now accessing this
group thru Google. Thanks for understanding.

Control Panel's Power Management seems to be associated with this
executable:

C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM\POWERCFG.CPL

There is an .inf file that appears to be associated with the original
installation:

C:\WINDOWS\INF\POWERCFG.INF

The .inf makes reference to these files:

powercfg.dll
PowerCfg.inf
powercfg.cpl
powrprof.dll
batmeter.dll

At the bottom of the .inf there are these strings:

POWER_HOME_OFFICE = "Home/Office Desk"
POWER_PORTABLE = "Portable/Laptop"
POWER_PERSONAL_SERVER ="Always On"

The .inf file itself contains the data for the various policies (see
below). It appears that the actual policies are stored in the
registry, not in files.

================================================== ========
;Desktop policy
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Co ntrols
Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0","Policies",1,\

block of data

; portable policy
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Co ntrols
Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\1","Policies",1,\

block of data

; Always On policy
HKLM,"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Co ntrols
Folder\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\3","Policies",1,\

block of data
================================================== ========

It seems to me that you could copy the appropriate files from your CD
(or locate them on your HD) and then r-click powercfg.inf and select
Install.

That was a great idea but it didn't work for me. Somehow my Windows
installation has been corrupted. Thank you for your reply.
