Recently we blogged about how to rename default power plans in Windows 7. One of our readers has asked is it possible to delete one or more power plans present in Windows 7?
As you may know, one can easily delete newly created custom plans in Windows 7. But Windows doesn’t allow you delete the default power plans (Balanced, High Performance, or Power Saver).
