This application was written to overcome the Windows 7 bug where the
built in Battery Low notification was not functioning correctly.
Normally, when reaching a certain level Windows would notify you that
you should plug the power supply in or shutdown the computer.
Instead, Windows 7 skipped this step and will automatically perform the
designated sleep/hibernate/shutdown task at the appropriate battery
level.
