Thanks Steve! But, I tried that, and got a warning
that that control panel wouldn't work on this computer
(seems to me to be more of a laptop type of control
panel)...maybe a reboot after moving it back might
help.

It may be a good thing, but when you only plan to be
on the computer for a couple hours on and off, it can
be irritating. Besides, the hard drive really doesn't
use too much power. Now the monitor is a different
