My Dell computer has Windows XP Pro. My problem is that when I specify a
standby time with: Desktop, Properties, Screensaver, Power, the computer
never obeys these durations and never goes into standby.

The screen saver works fine, and the time I select does'nt influence
my problem (whether longer or shorter than standby time).

I had a look into the registry, and I found this:

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\PowerCfg\PowerPolicies\0]
"Name"="Home/Office Desk"
"Description"="This scheme is suited to most home or desktop computers that
are left plugged in all the time."

0      01 00 00 00 02 00 00 00
8      01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
[snip]

Is there any documentation anywhere about the meaning of these numbers? Is
there any option here that you can't see with the regular menus and the mouse?
