Not that I know of. But leaving the monitor on should be no problem. When
the monitor is "idling" it uses next to no power.

Hi Kevin,
Right click the Desktop/Properties/ScreenSaver/Power/Turn off monitor.
Added tip:
Enable Monitor Power-off on Logon Screen (Line 160)

But that doesn't turn off the monitor any more than shutting down. Whether
it's your method or shutting down the computer, the monitor goes into
standby mode and uses hardly any power at all, but it isn't turned off.

There's good information on shutdown problems here:

that is called standby... and according to the model of monitor it uses 3-10
watts...
TVs, dvd players and sound systems all have standby and all drain a small
amount of energy even if they are not working...
I suggest get a power strip with a switch and turn everything off.

Sorry, ignore the above. I misread your question completely. You said
"monitor," but I somehow read "computer."

Kelly,
How is that going to press the power button on the monitor so there is no light
on the front of the monitor, Kelly? It won't
Another useful tip I see

Kevin,
There is a PowerDown After Shutdown option that will remove the your computer is
safe to switch off, blank the monitor, but there will still be the orange light
on the front which won't change

Maybe on some monitors there's an orange light, but nowhere near all of
them.

No amount of your bashing Kelly is gonna raise your status in the eyes
of the other users here.
If anything, it's only lowering it.
IMO, it can't go much lower.

But there are an increasing number of users which aren't helped by Kelly or her

And that somehow makes her contributions less? You're complaining that she
doesn't go far enough? If so, you have a very strange set of mores. Yes, she
sometimes misreads posts -- we all do. But your animosity is seriously
misplaced. Suggest you go out and make a site that does all that Kelly's
does and more. If it has real value, I'm sure someone will use it -- if they
can't find what they need on Kelly's site. Probably at least a *few* things
she's missed.
