Hi there,
When at home with my laptop, I use external moniotor, mouse, keyboard. Notebook lid is closed. To use it this way, I had to choose a desired effect of lid closing, that is "do nothing when lid closes" (since I use polish language Windows, it may sound different in english).
It seems like this applies to all power management plans. It is a bit of annoyance, since when I'm on on the go, which is basically everyday, I want my machine to go to sleep when I close the lid, instead of "do nothing". That means, I have to either change the options on a daily basis or click start/on - off menu everytime, which is not very convenient.
I tried to create a custom power management plan and specify the desired behaviour for lid closing, but dint find the solution.
My question is - is it possible to have different actions performed after closing the lid, according to power plan that is in use?
OS is Vista Home Premium 32 bit. Thanks in advance for your help, folks.
