MonPwr - turn off screen

#1 Post by webfork »

Monoff4 has already saved me a lot of electricity and annoyance so I went looking for something that could do a little more...

----

Tested the available RAR distribution v1.1.5

Not Portable: Write settings to HKCU\Software\MonPwr

Description: lets you turn off your Laptop/PC screen with just a click of a button, or schedule your computer to hibernate/restart/shutdown at a required time - without affecting background processes.

Save power and extend your screen life. MonPwr keeps the monitor turned off even if you accidentally jerk the mouse - and turns it back on only when you press a hotkey, or the enter key/space bar.

Topic update: MonPwr still available from both its own homepage and Softpedia.

Regarding system traces, I couldn't detect any after running it in Windows 7 and then using the "Uninstall MonPwr" from the program UI (see bottom button of screenshot below), which makes it stealth but not portable; I'm quite sure a yaP launcher would easily remediate the portability aspect.
