Network adapter keeps turning off when pc is idle.

I need to find a way to PERMANENTLY disable the network adapter from turning off to save power.

Its this setting here.

Every time I restart the computer it rechecks that box.

I manage an office with about 10 computers and this power saving feature is making the software they use very unstable.
Thank you.

I know how to fix this in XP, but I'm not sure about Windows 7. If you go to the advanced tab, is there also an option there for "Power Save Mode" as in xp? In xp, this defaults to "Maximum" and should be set to "off". I'm not sure if there is an equivalent in 7, but it is worth a shot.
