Just tried to extract the file - no joy. Here's what I see when I double-click on 'Power Management' in control panel:
Window with two tabs: "Power Schemes" & "Advanced"
Under "Power Schemes", my only option is a drop down box titled 'Power Schemes'. When I open the box, my three options are, "Home/Office Desk", "Portable/Laptop", and "Always On". I changed it to the first one, but it was originally "Always On". After selecting a scheme, your only choices are to 'Save As..." or "Delete".
Under "Advanced", the only option is a check-box that says "Always show icon on the taskbar." It is unchecked.
When I expand the "System Devices" tab in "Device Manager" after d-c'ing "System" in control panel, my options are (NOTE: This is in SAFE MODE. The options are different in normal mode, but I can't get into normal mode and don't remember the differences):
