MinVideoTimeout

The minimum allowable video idle time-out before turning the display device off, in seconds.

MaxVideoTimeout

Remarks

The ADMINISTRATOR_POWER_POLICY structure defines limits to certain power policy values that are applied globally to all users' power schemes. The values in the ADMINISTRATOR_POWER_POLICY structure override any settings selected by the user in the Power Options control panel program.

To set an administrator override policy, call the CallNtPowerInformation function.
