I went with the $3 turn off monitor program.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20498763 Sat, 17 May 2008 17:11:06 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495085 trog : 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
screensave /delay 0 /poweroffto shut down the display.]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20495085 Fri, 16 May 2008 19:09:28 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20492657 trog : 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. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20492657 Fri, 16 May 2008 11:46:59 EDT http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,20492359 howie : 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).

There are some free Vista utilities that'll shut it down too, like this one (works well):
