I want my cmputer to wake-up from standby when I hit the keyboard, not when the mouse is moved, but I can NOT find any way to disable the mouse!!
There is no option that I can find to not allow the device (mouse) to bring the computer out of standby... OR am I missing it somewhere! I'm using XP home edition...
 
Open your Device Manager, right-click on your keyboard and
select Properties. Click on the Power Management tab and
check "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby".

You can do the same for your mouse and other devices.

That's the problem. I cannot find the "Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby" anywhere in my device settings!
 
Carey; I have the Retail (Full) version of WinXP Home, and I do not have
the feature you speak of, in the properties of keyboard in Device Mgr...
