132971 2003-04-02 12:10:00 Help please,
Is there any reason why a Power Scheme gets loaded twice ?

The key "Rundll32.exe powrprof.dll, LoadCurrentPowerScheme" is in the RUN and RUN SERVICES folder located in

Hkey_Local_Machine\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curr ent Version.

The RUN folders also has the keys 'Scan Reg ' and 'Sys Tray'
The RUN SERVICES folder also has the key ' Hidserv"

Can I delete one of these PowerScheme keys ??

My O/S is WIN98SE

cheers

132972 2003-04-02 12:33:00 LoadPowerProfile is started twice to provide a power management profile before and after you log on to Windows. LoadPowerProfile starts as a machine service so that the default power management settings are available when Windows 98 starts. It is loaded again after you log on to Windows to process preferences for individual users of the computer.

What if I'm the only user? Would I need the 2nd loadup if my powerscheme is the only one ?
