Every time I want to know which power option I'm using, I'm always clicking on start, control panel, and power options, and see which I'm using and of course, I can change it as well. Is there a way to have something on the taskbar, so all I have to do is just look at it and if I want to change it I can?

Hello, :alien:

If you like, you can add a Choose Power Plan context menu using the tutorial below to make it easier to directly open Power Options to see which power plan you currently using, and to be able to switch power plans on demand if wanted.

Thank Brink, but nope that is not what I'm looking for. But let me explain, I would like to look at the taskbar and say O I'm using the balance plan. But then again, if I click on the word "Balance" I would like to have the option of changing it. Does this make more sense of what I'm looking for?

Possibly with some 3rd party app that includes that feature.
