Battery Monitor - Windows 7 Laptops

[hfnistelrooy]

Hi,

 

Ive got 30 Toshiba laptops all running on Windows 7 CC4, however there is no battery icon in the taskbar to tell you how much time is left, is there any program that I can install so that it will show the % battery life remaining for all users?

Have you tried customizing the 'Notifications' area (bottom right, right next to the clock) - from what I understand, Battery is a System Icon.

Never used CC4 so I may be barking up the wrong tree!

I had a look at that and it says somethings are restricted by GPO, but ive checked the relevant GPO and I dont see it set as disabled..

Hello,

 

I'm pretty sure this link will help you, it has some registry files on it which I used myself on CC4:
