Turn off monitors

Create a keyboard shortcut to power off your monitor

If you use three monitors, as I do, using the power buttons to turn off the monitors can be a little bit of a pain. Did you know that you can create a desktop/keyboard shortcut to turn them all off at once? You'll need to download a small utility called NirCmd, which you can get here:
http://www.vistanews.com/M2IOYE/090723-NirCmd

After you've done that, create a shortcut to the program:

1. Right click the desktop and select New
2. Select Shortcut
3. Browse to the location where you saved NirCmd.exe
4. In the Create Shortcut dialog box, where you type the location of the item, put quotation marks around the path, then add this to the end: cmdwait 1000 monitor off (Thus the contents of the box should look something like this: "C:\ Users \ YourName \ Downloads \ nircmd.exe" cmdwait 1000 monitor off)
5. Click next
6. To assign a keyboard shortcut, right click the shortcut icon and select Properties
7. On the Shortcut tab, pick a key combination
8. You can also change the icon to something more appropriate by clicking the Change Icon button
9. Click OK

Now you can shut down the monitors by clicking the icon or by pressing the shortcut key combination.
