We have a monitor at our work which we use to monitor our company’s state. But how lazy I am I was looking for a quick solution to switch off and on this screen. So I don’t need to do this task anymore each morning;-) I did some research on the net but didn’t found a solution to do it with the Windows inbuilt functions. Then I discovered this great command prompt tool: Nircmd. It offers a lot of other functions. Just copy it into your Windows System 32 folder and you can simply run the command “nircmd monitor off” to switch off your screen. I used Windows Task Planer to run it each morning (switch on) and evening (switch off). Check out this great tool which offers heaps of other functions:

You need two commands to accomplish that.
-
C:\>assoc .txt
-
.txt=txtfile
-
-
C:\>ftype txtfile
-
txtfile=%SystemRoot%\system32\NOTEPAD.EXE %1

We sometimes have fun at work and shut down each others computer;-)
I think you need to have domain admin rights to do so. If you are not logged in as domain admin you can run the “cmd.exe” with Shift+Right Click and “Run As” Domain Admin Login + Password.
Here the command:
-
shutdown -m \\computername -s -t 500 -c "You better save your work;-)"
