I want to change the functionality of my laptop settings, for example, what it does when I close or open the top of my laptop. I just got a new laptop with windows 7 and am not sure how to do it.

I dont use w7 but id say at a guess ..if you have a look where you setup your screensaver u should find a section to do with your power settings…..in there u will find the settings your after 😉

Answer by BluZuner
Right click on desktop…..click on personalization. Now click on screensaver. The box that opens has a link in it to go to power settings. Click on that. On the left side of the screen that opens, are the settings you are looking for.

Click on the small battery icon on the super bar (task bar), click more power options and from here adjust your settings. On the left side it should say “choose what happens when you close lid,” etc…

click the start button at the bottom right of your screen and then click control panel it is very easy to navigate you wont need much help or, click the start button and search for what you want to change in the small text box above the start button it extremely useful

Answer by Kong
For closing the laptop,just go
Start > Control panel > Click ‘Hardware and sound’ > Under ‘Power options’, click ‘change what the power buttons do’,and there’s your options to set.
For any other thing,try searching in the search box,most of the time it’ll bring you to what you want to do.
