Factor Mystic

Changes:

• Customizable hotkey (click to capture hotkey, escape to stop)
• Tooltip on tray icon now shows what the hotkey is
• Custom hotkey is saved in a per-user config file (%appdata%\turnoffmonitor\turnoffmonitor\1.0.0.0\config.txt)
• Clicking the tray icon no longer turns off the monitor, it just brings up the window
• Interface changes- more compact, less distracting. Clicking the link takes you to the latest post for this program.
• Fixed a really annoying bug where the system would immediately turn the monitor back on

Like before, hit a key or jiggle the mouse to turn the monitor back on (you can adjust that in the system power settings), and requires .Net 2.0.

Here is a little utility to turn “XMouse” behavior on and off. This means that when you hover the mouse over a window, that window becomes activated, but doesn’t come to the front. It’s handy to scroll background windows. Requires .Net 2.0.

As it turns out, this is possible, it’s just a simple registry tweak.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AutoComplete]
"Append Completion"="Yes"

If you’re not in the mood to manually edit your registry, I’ve put that into this handy registry key file.
