I don't use it on my desktop machines as I just turn the monitor off & walk away but with my laptop standby works great. I do like Gary &
If your computer is located where unauthorized people may use it, first hit the Windows Key quickly followed by the L Key (before you switch the monitor off) and you get an instant log off. Whoever switches your monitor on gets the password prompt. This is lots quicker than any procedure that involves mouse clicks starting with "Start." When you turn your monitor on and enter your password you are quickly taken back to normal Windows operations.
