Laptop LCD screen on/off with only assigned key (WinXP SP3)
Hello,I'd like to turn off my laptop LCD screen when listening to music. I can turn off it Autohotkey script or a lot of small utility etc or "Turn off monitor" in Power Options Properties. But it's not keep off, its turn on when any key is pressed or mouse movement.Is it switch/fix/way... in a windows registry for this problem?(For example maybe my problem about windows wake up parameters maybe in HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\kbdclass)I want to turn off and keep off until I press a key that assigned by me. I have scripts for turning on and I can assign a key with Autohotkey or AutoIt etc. But it must keep off.Thanks for help1 person needs an answerI do too

Hi,This the way it is designed. However, to turn off the Monitor until you press a key assigned by you is by creating a shortcut’.To create this shortcut, you will have to sue third party utilities.THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE DISCLAIMER:Using Third Party Software, including hardware drivers can cause serious problems that may prevent your computer from booting properly. Microsoft cannot guarantee that any problems resulting from the use of Third Party Software can be solved. Using Third Party Software is at your own risk.Regards, Manasa P – Microsoft Support.

Yes, I use a third part utility, but it's not important for that problem. Although monitor turning off can be done with "Power Options Properties" in Windows XP. So this is an original windows abilities. But my problem is not turning off. My problem is Turning on. I don't want to turn on screen with any keyboard input. So keyboard must disable for display activation or monitor activation. I searched about it in internet long time, but I can't find any third part solition. I believe windows registry has an option for this situation. Maybe an expert about windows registry help me for this problem.Thank you
