RE: Cannot make STR Sticky

I was able to make this at least have the appearance of being sticky by
adding a task in the task manager that starts on every login to run the
"dumppo admin minsleep=32" command. Gave it maximum rights (bring up the
properties after creating a basic task).

Now when I run "dumppo admin" after rebooting, it does show minsleep=s3.

Unfortunately, this didn't fix my S3 problem (fans running when I put my
media center to sleep) but I thought I'd share in case it solves someone
elses problem.
