I'm currently running two different profiles on the laptop. Once is for general use, does the usual stuff of shutting down screen or powering off after x minutes of inactivity. The other profile is for watching films via VGA or streaming. It never shuts down, disables screen or anything.

The only way I can currently swap between them is to go to control panel/power options and then select the one I want.

Is there a little script, sidebar widget or anything else I can use that would make the swap easier?

You can tick a box to show the power icon in the system tray, thats what i use to switch between essentially the same kinda settings :)
