you may have heard many time about the shortcut to turn off computer, to log off, for switching user, etc.. But you have ever think to create shortcut to shutdown the monitor? Many of us with multiple monitors find it a pain to hunt down the power buttons all the time.
Now to create this shortcut, we'll first need to grab a tiny multi-purpose utility called NirCmd from the great folks over at NirSoft. This Swiss-army knife tool can do an amazing array of tasks, including powering off the monitor. All we really need to do is create a shortcut to it.
just go through this :-
1. Right-click anywhere on the desktop and choose New \ Shortcut
2. Then you'll want to browse to the location where you saved the nircmd.exe file, and add the following arguments:
3. Make sure the path has quotes around it, and then you add the extra arguments, which will wait 1 second before powering off the monitor (otherwise Windows might misinterpret your last keystroke and wake back up).
4. Next you can go into the shortcut properties and assign a shortcut key, and then click Change Icon to pick a better one than the default.
In Vista, at least, there's a great icon for turning off the monitor… pick the somewhat ugly one from the list.And when the icon actually shows up, it's nice and shiny. Of course you are free to pick your own icon instead.
