EZ Save

EZ Save is a free centrally-administered software tool distributed by the EPA that:

- Polls monitors on a network to determine each monitor's power management settings
- Generates reports on the result of the polling
- Sets appropriate power management settings on monitors on the network
- Sets appropriate screen saver settings on monitors on the network so that users retain screen saver images
- Requires no special processes on the network, no special hardware, and no client installations
- Uses the existing power management functionality in Windows (95/98/ME/2000/XP)

The software is a series of small programs that either read or slightly modify workstation Windows Registry entries that control ENERGY STAR settings on the system.
