comment Can I sleep one of the displays on a dual-monitor setup (running Windows 7)?
I recently switched jobs and no longer have two monitors, so I can't test this. If someone else confirms that this works, I'll choose it as the answer, since it requires no additional software.

@Shinrai--yes, without physically powering it off. I want to "put the display to sleep," so that it doesn't distract me or consume power when I don't need it.

thanks for these ideas, @datatoo. I think you're right, but I was looking for an existing utility to handle this sort of thing for me--I spent some time with VB Script once and hated it. I have used a combination of Python, text editors and Excel tricks (like flagging cells with substrings matching "Mr" or "Mrs" or "," in name columns, among many others) in my adventures cleaning up messy data--but I was doing the same things over and over again (inefficiently), and thought there might be an existing utility. I did find a candidate--see my answer.
