This determines whether the fuel gauge is a topmost" window or not.  A topĆ

most" window appears above all other nonĆtopmost windows, typically floating

above the active window.  Setting this entry to 0 allows other windows to cover

the fuel gauge whenever they are selected.

Valid values:

0x0000 to 0x000F

Default value:

0x0006

This is an Options Bitmap that indicates the items to be displayed in text form

beneath the fuel gauge icon.  The bits are:

"

0x0001:

Show battery life remaining percentage. 60%".

"

0x0002:

Show battery status: High/Low/Critical".

"

0x0004:

Show charge status: Charging".

"

0x0008:

Show AC status: AC".

Valid values:

Default value:

0

This entry enables the Power Miser by setting this entry to 1.  The power miser

can increase battery life when running an application that does not allow the

Windows kernel to idle.  It does this by forcing the Windows kernel to idle at apĆ

propriate times.  If the busy" bar on the fuel gauge icon is always topped out,

try enabling this entry.  The Miser can be somewhat invasive so the best apĆ

proach is to implement a well powerĆmanaged application that allows the system

to idle on its own.  See the description below, for MiserLimit.

Valid values:

0 to 255

Default value:

2

As mentioned above, the Miser mode can be invasive to the system.  It might

force too many idles to occur. This entry limits the amount of idling that Miser

mode forces.  Higher values cause fewer idles.  If it appears that the Miser is

slowing down or interfering with an application, increase this value to lessen the

interference (which also lowers power savings.)  If the interference cannot be

cleared, disable the miser mode.
