Question about Windows XP Screen Saver, Power Manager and Command Line Interface
Is there a command line interface that will allow me to :
1. Set the screen saver and time out?
2. Change the timeout for power when it's plugged in?
Basically, I want to dbl click a CMD file on my desktop that would set my screen saver from none to blank and then enable after 1 minute and then change the power for the monitor to turn off in 1 minute, instead of me always going into the display properties to change it.
Thanks.
Stan.

Display Power Management
Display Power Management is a small command-line tool that allows you to turn the monitor or the screen saver on and off to save power. Run display.exe in a Command Prompt to learn more about its syntax.
