Hello!

I have an idea for DisplayFusion:
I often would like to force windows to shutdown the displays, i.e., what happens if you are inactive and power management takes affect.

Screensaver control can do this ( http://www.ampsoft.net/utilities/ScreenSaverControl.php ), but it does much more than I need, and is quite bloated.

Just figured i'd throw that out there :)

I find NirCmd quite useful for this: http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html.

Wizmo is a very slim utility (~40k, no install) that does this and a number of other things.
Check it out at grc.com (http://www.grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm).

Sorry.. I forgot about coming back here XD.

What I did was setup a simple batch file and a hotkey with nircmd.

First I downloaded nircmd from here -- http://www.nirsoft.net/utils/nircmd.html
and placed it in system32. Could be any directory in %PATH%.

Then I wrote a batch script:


I then linked the batch to one of my G15 keys.

The ping command simply adds a 2 second delay, which allows you to stop touching the keyboard/mouse before the display kills itself. Otherwise it's too easy to accidently undo the nircmd command.

Hope that helps

If you're still interested in adding this:

may be a good place to start.
