PowerPanel
The PowerPanel by Phoenix Technologies pro-
®
vides Windows 95 desktop access to a compre-
®
hensive combination of power management
settings without entering the BIOS setup utility.
The PowerPanel icon looks like an atom with
its cloud of electrons. This icon will open the
PowerPanel menu. You can view the menu in
icon format along the edge of your desktop by
moving the cursor against the edge where you
have chosen to keep your PowerPanel toolbar
and letting it sit there until the toolbar appears.
(The default position for the toolbar is the left
side of the screen, but you can move it to
whichever edge you like by dragging.)
The power management toolbar has ten
power profile choices and six activation choices.
When you switch to AC powered operation the
PowerPanel toolbar will change to indicate AC
power operation and will show the AC Power
profile as active.
