Guest Niteowl Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Make my screen blank Hi, I use one called "blkscrn", it's just an .exe file you put on your desktop or shortcut it there, size is 9k, it's originally for w98 I think, but works fine with XP, don't know about vista. found a link using google: (I think it's the same, just updated from the one I use) http://www.rjlsoftware.com/software/security/black/ might be worth checking out, or you could just set up your computer and when you hit Ctrl/Alt/Del, then K, it will put you back at the signon window.. requiring a password to get you back in. The setup for that is something to do with the way the welcome window works.. someone else could probably give you the skinny on that. good luck, niteowl "welshman" <welshman@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:38FA8308-02B2-444A-AE08-4E5E0133B2DC@microsoft.com... >I would like to be able to blank out my screen when people walk into my > office. any advice on how to do this please.

Hit the power button on your monitor.
Guest db ´¯`·.. > Posted August 20, 2007 Posted August 20, 2007 Re: Make my screen blank i think an easy way to blank out your screen is to create a shortcut then set a keyboard hot key sequence of your choice. for example: right click on the desktop and select to create a shortcut. then copy and paste this line in the blank field: C:\WINDOWS\system32\scrnsave.scr [c drive is the default however you can replace it with the drive letter where your system files are located] after creating the desktop shortcut, the icon will appear on the desktop. then you can right click on it and customize its properties a bit further - emphasizing on the field where you can input your keyboard key combination to engage your new "shortcut" . -- db ·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·..><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º>¸. ><)))º>·´¯`·.¸. , . .·´¯`·.. ><)))º>`·.¸¸.·´¯`·.¸.·´¯`·...¸><)))º> ..

Is that sufficient? [Window+D] does much the same thing with the added benefit that a further [Windows+D] restores the windows back the way they were - more or less.
