Given that Server Core isn??™t a mouse-intensive operating system, you probably won??™t need to
change these settings. However, if you do find that the mouse doesn??™t work as well as expected in
Remote Desktop, where you??™ll often cut and paste text in the command prompt, you may need to
change the settings. One of the better adjustments appears at http://www.softwaretipsandtricks
.com/windowsxp/articles/69/1/Mouse-Permanent-Acceleration-Fix/print/69. However, a
search online for either SmoothMouseXCurve or SmoothMouseYCurve will likely turn up a wealth
of settings you can try.
Power Configuration
The power configuration settings control how your computer works with power. For example, you
can set the power policy to shut off the monitor after a specific time frame or turn off the hard drives
when they aren??™t being used. The problem is that these policies are set using binary values, which
means that you can??™t do much more than select a particular policy using the Registry Editor unless
you have documentation for that binary data. Consequently, you??™ll normally use the PowerCfg
utility described in the ???Managing Power Settings with the PowerCfg Utility??? section of Chapter 12
to perform power configuration.
