Now you get a list of all setting in Windows.
What few people might know:
You can drag and drop any of the settings icons to your desktop or Quick launch area and Windows will create a shortcut for you to exactly that setting :-)
But I really miss the setting which used to be available even for Desktops, that you could simply ask Windows to display the energy icon in the status bar and you could select the power plan with only 1 click.... :-(
I hate it when they dumb down things (what they have done with so many things in Win 7)
WIN + X key combo | in the Battery Status section, from drop down box , choose the desired plan.
WIN is the key with the Microsoft flag on top.
