  is there a way to set a laptop NOT to shut down/sleep when i close it (meaning folding it down)?
  
  i want it to still be able to run normally as if the screen were up except with it down. do you get it, and is that even possible?
  
  im using an acer aspire

  Double click on that green bar next to the clock.
  
  Click on Advanced Settings
  
  Select Power Button and Password tab
  
  Under Power Button, select No Action for When I close the lid
  
  Click OK to apply the settings

  OK. Any Acer icons near the clock
  
  Or try this:
  
  Start (Replaced by Windows logo) > Acer ePM > ePowerManagement
  
  Or whatever Acer programs you have

  yup i'm running on ePower Management and after clicking on it i see no option to disable the sleep/shut down option when closing the lid. mainly states on/off WLAN, bluetooth, card bus (what the hell is this?) yup..

  Is there an Advanced Settings option?
  
  Or anything that hints that?

  after a bit of digging thru i found it. i can handle from here. ePower management -> more power options -> change plan settings -> change advanced power settings
  
  messy, but got there haha thanks.
