Energy-saving era: Using power management to make Win7 computers more power-efficient

The 21st century is a generation of energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Energy-saving can make us more fresh. At the same time, we hope that we can all be environmentally friendly in the setting of computers. We can use our own power management system to get our The computer saves power and achieves energy savings.

Win7 comes with "energy-saving function"

Switching the power scheme in Win7, you must first enter the control panel, the operation is somewhat troublesome, and there are no convenient shortcut keys available, so Most users have not used this feature. So I came up with a good way to quickly switch Win7 power solutions, as long as we set our usual power management scheme to desktop shortcuts, just want to use just double click on it.

View all power scheme GUIDs

First run "powercfg-list" under the CMD command line to list the power management schemes that have been configured in the current system.

Next, right-click on the blank space on the desktop and select "New-Shortcut", in the "object location" option, enter "C:\\Windows\\System32\\powercfg.exe" ;

Click Next and name it "Energy" to complete the creation of the shortcut.

Creating Shortcuts

1. Right-click on the shortcut, open the "Properties" dialog, switch to the "Shortcuts" tab and set the "target" The content is changed to the "powercfgsetactiveGUID" format, where the GUID needs to be changed to the corresponding code.

2. According to the previous CMD running "powercfg-list" command line display results, replace "GUID" with the corresponding code found from the CMD command line, including balance, high performance, energy saving Three modes.

3. Here we create the "energy" shortcut, so change the target of the shortcut attribute to "powercfgsetactivea1841308-3541-4fab-bc81-f71556f20b4a".

Modify shortcut target

Use the same method to create several other power schemes in Win7 as desktop shortcuts. When you need to switch, just open the application, double-click the desktop icon. , you can quickly switch to the corresponding program for Win7 notebook.

There are also several ways to choose from. The establishment of shortcuts naturally saves us a lot of precious time, while saving power and realizing environmental protection and energy saving.
