Just downloaded this software - used to use another product for the task but recently upgraded to windows 7 - however, this seems to be a fine product, so far, does everything I wanted and more - another \"learning curve\" oh well

This works great! One tip: I had to go into the settings and uncheck the \"Turn Monitor On when mouse is moved\" box, otherwise the slightest movement of my mouse turned the monitor back on a again. This is not a problem, as you can easily turn on the monitor with ctrl-alt-del and then close the dialog box as described in the instructions.

Turn Off Monitor is a handy software since Windows 7 Power Option is no longer allowing monitor to turn off while running programs; Not to mention the benefit of energy saving and protecting monitor from burning out. For anyone who has to routinely run programs overnight, this software would be an ideal choice. Besides, it provides options and flexibilities to accommodate individual needs. I would say it is a tool for a simple function but with clever design.

I love the product. What I am missing is a way to keep the monitor turned off even if I touch the keyboard. I am a blind user and some times would like to turn the screen off just by making sure no one can see what I am doing. So if there is a way to implement a feature where you could turn the monitor off and then back on again by a hotkey instead of just touching the kieyboatrd, it would be wonderful.

it doesn't work with skype. However, I can lock the monitor and it will then turn the monitor off and leave it off.

Complete Control I have been using for over a week now and the program is decent it does what it should and does not take up much space the only thing I would change is to lower the price!

Great Program I needed a program to turn the monitor off on my notebook when downloading large files to keep from having to close the lid and risk damage to the screen. I also wanted to be able to turn the monitor off at the touch of a button. This program does this and much more very well so far. Thank you.Jade

Good software to control monitor life I like this software. I use it to turn my monitor off and I use it to activate the screen saver.

Nice Software!!! I have to recomend this soft. It's very easy to use, and also very useful for what i was looking to do. I'll test it, and then buy it for sure!

Pretty good It serves its purpose well.

Very good, even to pay for Hello, I downloaded your product & installed it, First it runs very smooth and resource-free, Second: no nags, Three: simple - excelent.But despite all of those - I wouldn't buy it, reason is I can't trust my creadit card on the net, if you would be able to send a bill via usual mail, i'de be happy to buy this product,I thank you, the application work great.Cheers.

Recommendation Really satisfied. Works smoothly and definitely.It very usable instead of shortcuts, "built in notebook".

Won`t work with printer I purchased Shut Down Expert for the "hibernates/awakens" feature. However, after the computer awakens my deskjet D1320 printer will not work. Prior to installing SDE, the printer worked fine. I must restart the computer for the printer to work after hibernation. SDE tech support says that it's the printer driver. HP printer support, after extensive trouble shooting, said to uninstall SDE, that the SDE software was the cause of the problem since the printer works fine without it installed. So, I'm left with the "shut down/restart" option if I continue to use SDE. I'm not a satisfied customer ...

Works as advertised... very handy in the scenario I have: I can't run a screen saver but I do want to schedule monitor on and off times.

Good stuff. This is a GREAT piece of free software. Nothing else needs to be said. A strong command line tool.

Very useful app! Works perfectly! :-) The interface is command-line but this is even better as one can create a scripting icon an a desktop.

Display 1.0 : Problem This tool does not work ! I wrote my own code and this is much better... sorry.

Good job Works fine. No installation required. The option for the scheduled run would be useful.

no workie After downloading and installing the software, I could not find an installation or a button to open it and as such, could not try it. Thank you.

I think I can't find the good settings.B.T turns automaticly off, but start not automaticly when B.T carkit or other divice is active.

Opinion about BT Guard. Great app, but why don't you give it for free? With some ads on the website and let's go! Maybe two versions: one with limited features (for example just turning bluetooth off), and one with full features (security, and maybe other options) which would not be free. Or one for personal use, another for commercial use.
