Thinkpads Forum

Is there any way to make my Thinkpad standby on closing the lid only when on battery power and not AC? I've only encountered this feature on Linux and not Windows. I know there's the Control Panel > Power Options, but that doesn't let me do what I want.

Don't know about XP anymore, but in Vista's power options you can set the lid close action (e.g., sleep, hibernate, shut down) differently for battery and AC.
