How would you? by Nathan on 09-15-2005 at 08:28 PM
Hi,
How would you make your screen go black with a combo?
I no it might be a stupid question but how would you?
I want like one button where it makes the screen go blank but keep everything running.
And no i dont want to switch it off from the front!

?I suppose you could see if you could find a screen save that just makes the monitor black and then run that. But turning it off with the button makes more sense.

create a shortcut to blank.scr in your start menu and give it a key combination in the shortcut properties.

* rav0 learns how to give a key combu to almost anything, thanks
You can use Wizmo (instead of blank.scr) for more options.

How would you do that shawnz could you give me step to step instructions please?
RE: How would you? by JDawg_0789 on 09-16-2005 at 03:05 PM
C:\WINDOWS\system32\blank.scr
Right-click it and click "Pin to Start Menu."
Right-click that shortcut you just made and go to Properties.
Browse-from there you should find it.

So to repeat, right click the start menu item, and go to propeties and set the keys you want to use in the shortcut keys box.
