There are already programs to accomplish this. One of them is Executor. It's an awesome windows tool, it's like the search on the start menu in vista but way better http://www.executor.dk. It works in XP or vista and it has a monitor command that will turn off the monitor for you.
Hope this helps, /David -----Original Message----- From: Mohaned Sayegh [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Monday, March 02, 2009 8:39 PM To: [email protected] Subject: new window-eyes feature suggestion Hey all, I have a feature suggestion I would like to see added to Window-eyes sometime in the near future. I am suggesting a feature to power down a monitor, including any backlight. Many blind people use laptops and don't need the monitor active because they can't see it and it just uses up power anyway. I turned off my monitor by taping down a pin that gets pressed down when my laptop lid closes. Unfortunately most laptops these days are coming without the old pin technology. What do you guys think of adding a hotkey to Window-eyes to automatically do this? If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
