You can use Task scheduler to run powercfg.exe

use a command window to run powercfg /? so you can see the various commands available

running powercfg /l lists the codes “GUIDs” for your power schemes

running powercfg -s sets the active scheme – this is the command you want to set up in Task scheduler & you’ll need to select the “Run with highest privileges” checkbox in task scheduler to run the command using admin rights [or a command line window opened with admin rights during testing]. All powercfg commands that do more than provide info will need admin rights.
I assume you are running Win7 [I think these items are the same in Vista but cannot check].
