I'm finally starting to get my feet wet with group policies, which is working out OK so far.
The first problem that has come up is that my users cannot make changes to Power Settings. I don't want to set the Power Settings via Group Policies, simply let users set them to whatever they want.
I cannot find a policy that affects this setting at all, can someone point me in the right direction please?

Why can't they set Power Settings now? Is there a GPO preventing it? If so, just remove the setting from the GPO. My guess is that you completely disabled the Control Panel. If so, instead use the setting under User Configuration, can't remember exactly where it is at the moment. Use that to set up a Control Panel Applet White-List.
