Darkfalz Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I'd like a selection of things to do with done... maybe rewrite the option so it can do any of three things, close program, enter standby, or turn off computer. I don't know many people who turn off their computer more than once in a while, I almost always use standby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 and I don't know anyone who uses standby! Works both ways I guess. I've added options for log off, restart, shutdown, standby and hibernate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lfcrule1972 Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 I hardly ever turn my PC off only when a re-start is requested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LIGHTNING UK! Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 That's the eco-friendly way to do things. Good on ya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkfalz Posted March 29, 2006 Author Share Posted March 29, 2006 I never leave mine on when it's not used.... Neither do I! Which is why Standby is awesome. YOu can leave IE etc. open, and your computer is ready to use after only a few seconds. Power consumption in Standby is something like 10 watts, ie. nothing.

Billy Posted April 6, 2006 Share Posted April 6, 2006 I like to turn my computer off when it's not being used, like when I'm at work or sleeping. I don't like letting my computer cook and kick around dust just for the sake of keeping it running. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, slap me down and call me Susan. I never knew standby was in there too.

Movie Junkie Posted September 4, 2007 Share Posted September 4, 2007 Because of the jobs I get faxed to me, my business computer is on 24/7 (I do turn the monitor off when I am not using the computer). The computer I built a few years ago is only turned on when I am using it. The longest that one had been on is around 2 days (except when I was stressing it right after I completed building it). Other than shutdowns for normal maintenance and restarts my business computer has been on for at least the past 7+ years. I do not have it go into standby nor do I have the HD turn off at any time. I consider myself VERY lucky because I have never had any failure other than the ZIP drive and DVD-ROM drive that came with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
