Finally! I just had my laptop taken back to factory settings and could not for the life of me remember how I set the lid to do nothing when closed.

Mega-helpful!

Could anybody help me here too,I’ve been leaving my laptop overnight to download stuff too. but lately when i wake the computer from idle mode,it always starts to hang,leaving me to just do a manual.

I’ve already set my hardisk not to die,closing the lid ‘do nothing’, my laptop is set not to sleep at all.

Any ideas on this?Btw,im using Vista Home premium

Anybody know how to have this setting automatically set for any user who logs on to a laptop? perhaps a script or local policy?

This is a very useful trick, very simple but I never knew about this.

This is my first visit to this blog and I can learn a lot from this whole blog.

Great job Thilak!

Thanks

I am using an external monitor, keyboard, and mouse with my laptop. Is there a way to turn on the laptop without having to open the lid?

(I have an Acer Apire)
