Put Windows to Sleep Fast


Reader Luke Stodola can put Windows 98 into standby mode with just two keystrokes, and now you can, too. Open the Start menu with the <Windows> key or <Ctrl>-<Esc>, then press N, and everything powers down. Or at least it should. Some programs and documents disable this function when added to the Start menu. Even so, you can still go into standby quickly: Press <Ctrl>-<Esc> (or <Windows>), then U (or UU-<Enter>) to open the Shut Down dialog box, and finally T-<Enter>. Good night, Windows!
