My understanding is that you are trying to disable the Standby and Hibernation states on Windows XP. I do not believe this is easily possible with features "built in" to the OS. It may be possible to script something, but I suspect you would have to delve relatively deep into Windows power management internals. There may be third-party products which can do a better job. Another possibility is to avoid doing backups of workstations at all. Use features such as Roaming Profiles, Folder Redirection, and NTFS permissions to make sure all user data is synchronized to a server which is backed up. That's what we do, and it generally works well for us. Everybody is different, of course. If you have lots of non-standard applications, or users have admin rights, this does not work as well. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
