SYMPTOMS
The Windows Power Management Configuration Tools Design Notes and Reference documents the IdleAc and IdleDc power action policy members of the USER_POWER_POLICY structure, which is used by the Power Management Profile Interface (PMPI). Under Windows 98, the functionality documented for the IdleAc and IdleDc members is not implemented.

STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in Microsoft Windows 98.

MORE INFORMATION
The Windows Power Management Configuration Tools Design Notes and Reference documents the following functionality for IdleAc and IdleDc:

IdleAc

"Action to take on idle-system detection when the system is running on AC power." IdleDc

"Action to take on idle-system detection when the system is running on battery power." Because this functionality is not implemented under Windows 98, the system can only be configured to stand by after the specified idle period. No other action can be defined for this event.
