Is it set to that option or is it merely an option? The program power
options can be used on
a desktop or laptop. If you have a desktop obviously you won't use the
battery option..

Is your wife's computer plugged into an Uninterrupted Power Supply
(UPS)?

If so, and you don't have the software installed for the UPS, BUT do
have the UPS connected to the computer via a USB or Serial cable,
Windows may show the UPS battery in Power Options just like a laptop
battery.

If you have a UPS attached, either install its software, or remove the
USB or Serial cable connecting it to your wife's computer.

Is that her fault? Be a man. Buy her some batteries.
