Vista - How Do I Run A Program When The Low Battery Alarm Trips?


Recommended Posts

In XP (Pro anyway) there was a place to choose a program to run when the Low Battery Alarm tripped.

(Control Panel/ Power Options, Alarms tab)

I'm running Vista Home Premium and have tried looking through Power Options, Change Plan Settings, Change Advanced Power Settings but I don't see anywhere to have a program run (say Notepad with a custom message) when the alarm fires.

Is this available in more advanced versions of Vista (e.g. Ultimate)?

Can a RegEdit be used? (As in has anyone found the appropriate key already?)

I haven't poked through XP Pro's registry yet to see where option might be (yet).

That may be my next/best step.
