I'll like to disable the power settings on user computers that deal with
monitor off after a period of time' hard drive off, etc.

Can I disable this in the registry?

How about disabling the screen size, etc in registry so that only the
administrator can change those settings?

Thanks,

yes. However, if a user logs in the settings revert to generic "after 20
min." and the users have to power to change these settings. Thus, my need
to disable them via registry or some other way.

It might be a security program blocking the Registry change it needs to
make. A few, but not all, of the programs now doing this are:
Ad-aware's Ad-Watch
IBM Access Connections
McAfee VirusScan and/or Antispyware
Norton AV
Spyware Blaster
Spybot> Tools> IE Tweaks
Spybot- Teatimer
Spysweeper
Spyware Doctor
Windows Defender
Zone Alarm (free) 6.5 Reported to be fixed in later versions.

In the case of Zone Alarm 6.5 or Norton 2007 it actually has to be
uninstalled. Make sure the Windows Firewall is turned on until you
reinstall Zone Alarm.

Boot into Safe Mode and try the change.
