I want the display to turn off after a long press onto the Griffin Powermate. The software that Griffin provides for windows allows "opening an application"; but it cannot open the shortcut "C:\Windows\nircmd.exe monitor off" for example.

I do not wish to emulate a Keypress for the shortcut to the nircmd-Shortcut - I regard that as non-ideal because the keyboard shortcut can mess with all kinds of applications.

    "but it cannot open the shortcut C:\Windows\nircmd.exe monitor off" Why not? What happens when you try to use that? Have you tried putting it in a batch file and launching that? Jan 27, 2013 at 15:49

    @techie007 well, telling it to open shortcut will only open nircmd.exe without any commands. I just tried a .bat script withnircmd.exe monitor off and griffin powermate can in fact open scripts. ~~However the display gets turned off only for a couple of seconds. I assume it has something to do with cmd running that it gets woken up again~~ EDIT: Nevermind, that was another issue. It works now!

Put the line to launch nircmd (C:\Windows\nircmd.exe monitor off in your case) into a batch file, and then launch the batch file from the Powermate software. :)
