Save Power

In these volitile economic times every dime saved helps. You can save a little energy by setting your PC to automatically go into a power saving mode when you have left it idle for a period of time. Windows has tools to activate and adjust the setting built into the “control panel”
The attached PDF has screen shots to help you find the settings. Your controls might look a little different than mine due to changes in different versions of windows, but the idea is the same.
Laptop/notebook computers use power saving by default and your desktop PC may already be set to save power, but it’s easy to check your settings and adjust for your needs.
The greatest power saving comes when you shut it down entirely when not in use!
