| Vista: how to sleep monitor? I have power management to automatically turn off my monitor after 15 mins of inactivity, but is there any way to put my monitor to sleep immediately in vista? I remember with macs, you just place your curser in the corner and that would do the trick. | |

2 edits | The $3.00 one has the cursor feature. Reminds me of the old Win3.1 screensavers! LOL
[EDIT] I think I may get this... it does a heck of a lot more than shut down the monitor (see above).

| You could create a shortcut on your desktop to
%systemroot%\system32\Scrnsave.scr /s
Then, after making the shortcut, right click on the icon, and select Properties. On the SHortcut tab, set a hotkey of your choice in `Shortcut Key`.
This should give you a hot key to run the Scrnsave screensaver at will. | |

| One more option is a command line tool from »www.pretentiousname.com/miscsoft
Take a look at ScreenSave on that page. Source code included. Again, you easily add a shortcut with a custom key to do a
to shut down the display. | |
