No probs. All I need now is to get a mod to update all my posts with links in them (in this thread) to the link in my last post as my website is getting so many hits on the old links that do not work! Thats posts 8, 10 and 24 that need updating with the link from post 25 if any mods are listening :)

Kieran, it is possible for u to code another monitor off program just to switch off the primary monitor but not the secondary one. Coz when i am watching movie on the TV out and able to switch of the primary monitor( computer monitor) but not the TV.

[Kieran]

Aslro, Im sorry but I dont have a duel monitor setup at the moment to test it on so it would be a little hard to develop/test :(

[Storm]

cant you turn the monitor off in your graphics cards properties?

Nice job Kieran. That's the perfect solution for Monitor Powersave mode. It just happens to be the only one left that I needed to complete a set of shortcuts to vbs files that has all the.... standby, shutdown, restart, lock workstation, etc commands in one tool-bar. I just never figured out how to code that in a vb scritp file. Now I have a monitor standby function to go with it thanks to you. It's just what I've been looking for. Thanks.

:jump:

The monitor will turn back on when your mouse moves or you press a key on your keyboard. It sounds like your mouse is moving in this case. If it is a ball type mouse, clean the ball and it should stop wandering. If you have the ball-less type mouse, you should be using it on a different surface. Some surfaces are unsuitable for these types of mouse and make them oscillate between two positions. Alternatively, you can just turn your mouse upside down :)

How can I use that?

[Kieran]

It will make it so that you can turn your monitor off by right clicking on "my computer" and selecting it. It still uses my program. I assume that the executable has to be placed in a folder referenced in the "path" system variable.

Great little app Kieran! :D

I've added it to my Shutdown & My Computer button, with all credits to you of course! :)

(they are enhanced shortcuts without text)

More info & Download here.

Thanks for the credits :) I'm totally amazed at how many people seem to find my little app useful.

If anyone is interested in other apps I have done, I have finally started adding content to my website. This is the only new page (for now, hopefully I will have another up today):
