    Automatically disable Aero when switching to battery?


    Hi there,

    I was wondering if 7 can be programmed to disable much of Aero's functions when I unplug my netbook to increase performance and maximise battery life.

    I wasn't sure where to ask this, so I put it in the General tab.

    Thanks,
