Lesson 3 Viewing and Configuring Hardware Profiles<br />

6-31<br />

c. You can configure Windows XP Professional to always start the default profile<br />

by selecting the Do Not Display The Select Hardware Profile check box.<br />

d. You can select the Wait Until I Select A Hardware Profile option to have Windows<br />

XP Professional wait for you to select a profile at startup.<br />

■ A hardware profile stores configuration settings for a set of devices and services.<br />

Windows XP Professional uses hardware profiles to determine which drivers to<br />

load when system hardware changes. To create or modify a hardware profile, in<br />

the System Properties dialog box, click the Hardware tab and then click Hardware<br />

Profiles to view the Available Hardware Profiles list.<br />

■ After you have created a profile, you can control whether Windows displays available<br />

profiles during startup and whether Windows automatically selects a particular<br />

profile after a specified amount of time.<br />

■ After you have created a profile and configured how Windows uses profiles, you<br />

can configure hardware for a profile by starting Windows using that profile and<br />

configuring the hardware using Device Manager.<br />

■ If there are two or more profiles in the Available Hardware Profiles list, Windows<br />

XP Professional prompts the user to make a selection during startup.
