Here are my power settings on Windows Vista or Windows 7. I find the default setting annoying or inadequate, especially the Start menu power button triggering sleep.
- Lid Close Action
- On Battery: Sleep
- Plugged in: Do nothing
- Power Button Action
- On Battery: Hibernate
- Plugged in: Hibernate
- Sleep Button
- On Battery: Sleep
- Plugged in: Hibernate
- Start menu power button
- On Battery: Shut down
- Plugged in: Shut down
