monitor shutdown

[Jeffc]

I am looking for the registry setting to stop xpe from
powering down the monitor every 20 minutes. I know that
this can be done thru the 'Power Meter Control Panel',
but I would rather make a simple component to do this.

Jeffc,

Did you change the power policy in your HAL ("... PC") component settings? (something to "Always On")

If you did and it did not help then:
- you can either use API to change the monitor power policy

(also see my recent reply in the "Power button and hotfix Q833642" thread below)

- change the registry directly at run time.

- you can use Powercfg.exe utility to change various power policy setting: http://www.jsiinc.com/SUBL/tip5500/rh5594.htm

Also make sure you have this QFE installed if you use Minlogon:

In the HAL component, aet the Power management policy to Presentation.
Always On will still turn the monitor off after 20 min.
