    I know there are a couple of apps that turn your laptop monitor off with a simple shortcut key, but which is the best, easiest and lightest app? Feel free to persuade me to use one over another, but back it up. ;)

    With winflog, I can't do like ctrl+m to turn monitor off or w.e. Plus I couldn't get that middle mouse button to work with my usb mouse or my touchpad

    EDIT: got it working with usb mouse, not touchpad

    thanks guys... Recently, The Downloads of Winflog ExtreMe goes second to WinBubble. I'm really thankful to all of you. and other websites that love the registry hacks in using the middle mouse button customizations (300-500hits without releasing a new version, so i will not forget those two websites including NBR of course).

    Do you remember Winguggle, the downloads are coming from europe for several months! even me I don't know how it got their...

    Really thanks guys... I'm going home soon. Maybe the unlocking thing will be pause for a while.

    Thanks thanks thanks guys... :)
