... that someone may know.

I have my monitor set to go to standby after 10 mins inactivity but I would sometimes like to send it to sleep from the keyboard.

Is this possible (XP).

Just type zzzzzzzzzzz

Sing it a lullaby?

Or read War and Peace to it?



Or try some of these free tools - WakeUp or PowrClik.

Never used them myself, but they might do what you want.

Thanks for that, SD, but when I looked it appeared they (shock, horror) wanted money for them.

Frostie, the 2 I suggested (WakeUp or PowrClik) are both Freeware - not sure what you were looking at?
