Hi,

Does anyone here know how to make a short cut on desktop to hibernate the monitor in powersaving mode. I am refering to Display Properties / Screensaver / Power saving features of monitor.

I want a shortcut on the desktop instead of waiting for the time setting to activate it.

BTW if anyone is interested in Shutdown and Restart shortcuts:

For ShutDown

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.exe shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 1

For Restart

C:\WINDOWS\RUNDLL32.exe shell32,SHExitWindowsEx 2

[right click on desktop/New/Shortcut... and cut and paste the above in command line. Give it a name as ShutDown or Restart accordingly. You can also give a keyboard shortcut by rightclicking on the icon, moving cursor to Shortcut Key and pressing Shift+selected alphabet key. On the keyboard the shrtcut can be activated by pressing Ctrl+Alt+Selected Key

Download the file into Windows folder and make a shortcut with this command. Click on the shortcut and the monitor will switchoff -back on with a press of anykey/mouse. GREAT STUFF. More options are possible with different commands.

C:\WINDOWS\wizmo.exe monoff
