• How to set timer or clock for Vista not turn off computer?

  Although working with installed Dell Vista operating system, the computer turns off. Where should I go on the system to extend the timer to give me more time on the machine before I got close >

  Go to start / Control Panel / Power Options, and select the time desired for the system (or parts) for sleep or stop after periods of inactivity.  You can choose never if you want. \

  This, however, doesn't happen usually when the system is running (except when he is on the battery and it is sinking).  This happens to you while you work?  There is no setting I know to turn off the computer while you work with the exception of the condition of low battery on a laptop.  If this is happening, please post back and elaborate.  Is this a shudown or hibernation or sleep?  How much time do you have?  Always this way or this all simply to start a fact recently?  What version of Vista are you using?

  I hope this helps.  If this is not the case, with answers and clarifications please reply so we can help you that the decision should not occur except as described above.

  Good luck!

• When I put my Vista laptop to sleep (or hybrid sleep), it turns off the hard disk completely?

  The reason why I ask, is that if the hard drive is completely off then I'd feel sure put my laptop in its case and then walk with it (possibility of jerking around as if he were completely off), but if the hard disk is still spinning and then I don't want to treat it as if the computer is running.

  essentially, this question is not whether my information is stored in memory or on the hard drive, what power I am saving, etc..  I just want to know, standby or hybrid sleep in windows vista on a portable computer, the hard drive always turns?

  The hard drive (and monitor) turn off during the sleep or hibernation mode.  The only thing is that some things can take the system into "sleep" or hibernation mode (some connectios network can do if configured to do so) how the hard drive and maybe the monitor turns on.  If you pay attention to set up your power options and network options, this should not be a problem for you.  Here's a great article on the problems of Power Options and Sleep Mode so that you can check to make sure that you have none of the problems listed and can be corrected if you: http://www.vistax64.com/tutorials/63567-power-options-sleep-mode-problems.html.  I suggest you carefully read this article if you intend to be rude with your laptop, because you consider the closed disc.

  I hope this helps.

• Turn off computer account in Active Directory will still allow the workstation to log

  I have a special scenario. A Windows 7 workstation was locking (pending of CTRL + ALT + DELETE) mode. Until I turned off the computer, the user account and the same account administrator, reset the password for this user and the workstation. My requirement is that the user cannot log on to the workstation again.

  However, the user can connect to the workstation.

  This parameter of register AD might lock the computer completely? or is there any GPO setting that could lock the computer?
