I use this to switch between Power Plans, without needing to access the system tray or Mobility Center (Win+X,b)

• Use powercfg command line: powercfg /list
• Copy GUID(s) to notepad
• Create shortcuts on desktop
• Change icons of shortcuts using C:\Windows\System32\powercpl.dll

Do you regularly use different Power Plans on Windows?
