Default Power plan issues...

Hi! I've just gotten a new Vista machine after having XP Pro for a few
years. So far, I've had no difficulties and am qvery pleased with
perfomance etc., with one exception...

In XP, the moment I pulled the plug on my laptop, it would switch power
plans to my "battery" one (i.e. darken the screen, change how it shuts down
and so forth...)

In Vista, when I pull the plug, other than the screen going darker, nothing
happens. I'm told that I'm still in "High Perfomance" mode, which could
affect battery life. Duuuuh! :-)

So how do I tell my computer that when I switch to battery, it's to change
plans to Power Saver automatically?

Thanks in advance!

Carmen
