Have a laptop and want to get more battery life out of it?

 Windows 7
includes a hidden built-in tool that will
examine your laptop's energy use and
make recommendations on how to
improve it. To use it:
1. Run a command prompt as an
administrator. To do this, type cmd in
the search box, and when the cmd
icon appears, right-click it and choose
"Run as administrator."
2. At the command line, type in the
following:
powercfg -energy -output \ Folder
\Energy_ Report.html
where \ Folder represents the folder
where you want the reportto be
placed.
3. For about a minute, Windows 7will
examine the behavior of yourlaptop. It
will then analyze it and create a report
in HTML format in the folder you
specified. Double- click the file, and
you'll get a report -- follow its
recommendations for ways to improve
power performance.
