Laptop Battery.

<< < (2/2)

Vurbal:
Isn't there usually an icon down in the system tray that shows whether you are on AC or battery?

It doesnt notify of the change though (power => battery).

The icon always changed on my old WinXP laptops.

tomos:
^ yeah, sorry, I wasnt clear there: I meant no notification in a more in your face manner, e.g. popup. Taskbar on autohide here doesnt help either, but I dont know how the OP (who's looking for this) works, so that may be the solution.

4wd:
Knowing what OS the OP is talking about would go a long way towards suggesting anything.

jrmelb:
Yes - the OS is Windows 7.

 :)

4wd:
YTOTPC* - Pretty boring, any time there's a power state change it'll pop up a message box.  This could be connecting or disconnecting AC power.
