Quick question about Battery Maximzer

In XP Pro SP2, How do I get the battery icon just outside of the system tray to report time remaining instead of percent remaining?

Thanks.

Try this:

Left click on the battery icon > Show > "Remaining time when on battery"

Then disconnect your AC adapter.

Edit: My bad, I'm using Power Manager.

I'm pretty sure XP's "standard" battery icon shows only inside the tray, so the OP must actually be talking about Power Manager.

Could still be Battery Maximiser since if I remember it correctly, the T41p (on his sig) is not in the support list of Power Manager (first T4x was the T43/p).

Anyway, I have a T42 at home so I can check it when I get back.

When I am booted into Vista and am running the battery maximizer software, I can do this. Can't find an option for it in XP.
