I frequently have to change the power setting in my Windows 7 system from Power Saver to Always On and back to Power Saver (e.g. for installation of programs).
Is there a way to do this in one fell swoop with a keyboard shortcut rather than having to click through the Power Options windows ?
I do not know of any but im sure some creative scripting and setting custom keyboard shortcuts could solve your problem
not sure but i use godmode to accsses all my needs, create a new folder on desktop and name it this
GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}
...copy and paste it from here its easier.
OR

You might get some ideas from this: Powercfg Command-Line Options
You could try using Win+X to go to this panel and select from there as shown here:
Thanks very much, everybody, for these ideas. Looks like I need to use the God function and translate it into hotkeys. I'm working on it.
why dont you just left click on the power icon in the system tray, and change it there?
Hello Pacman,
In addition,
You could set two power plans to have each one set with a different setting you described. Afterwards, you can use the tutorial below to create a shortcut for each of these power plans to switch to using that power plan automatically. This way you can pin the power plan shortcuts to the taskbar (or where you like) to make toggling between them easier.

Hope this helps,
