Putting monitor into standby at a certain time ?

[Sam]

Hi

Let’s say i want to leave my monitor on all day but at 6pm i want it to go into standby mode. What is the best way to do this, can anyone recommend some decent software or is there a way i can schedule windows to do this ?

Tnx

Sam

The Pc needs to stay on 24/7

Im crap with Batch files ... I know how to save them and understand how to implment them in scheduled tasks. Could you write the two lines for me ?

1st line - Changing the screen to timeout after 5 minutes

2nd line - changing the screen not to time out at all

Then i can add the lines to 2 diffrent batch files and hopefully it will work ....

Would be much appreciated

Stuff that i have sorted it

One batch file will run at 6pm

POWERCFG /CHANGE scheme /monitor-timeout-ac 1

Then another batch file will run at 8am

POWERCFG /CHANGE scheme /monitor-timeout-ac 0

= Sorted
