It happened to me a few times to want to close the laptop screen For a few seconds (for reasons of objectives or subjective, security or vanity: p). But The monitor of a laptop cannot be closed "from the button" as in the case of a regular monitor (like the one for PC). Exist OPTION from a-l seta to close after a certain period of minutes, but this option is with two cuts: if you set a small time interval (a few seconds) it can become irritating, if you set a large time (a few minutes - half an hour) it does not help you, especially if you need to close the monitor immediately, and you cannot wait at least 1 min. But if you could create a shortcut which would allow you to close the monitor immediately, without having to wait seconds or minutes or, above all, Without having to close the laptop completely (as in extreme cases: D)? Certainly, it would save you from a lot of headaches. :)

For to create a shortcut to help you Inchis the monitor of the fast laptop, whenever you want, first you need a little application, brand NirSoft, which, among other things, also includes this option (that is, to close the monitor).

Download nircmd.exe.

After you have downloaded the application, go on Desktop And give Right click anywhere and create one New Shortcut.

Then browse to the location where you saved the application nircmd.exe and add the following:

“C: [Location] Nircmd.exe” cmdwait 1000 monitor off

where [location] is, in my case, UsersStealth Settingsnircmd, 1000 = 1 sec. and The quotes are mandatory!

After you have created the shortcut, choose a icon (preferably one to attract attention: P):

Et Voila! Now you have a shortcut that will allow you to close the monitor when you want, without having to wait. ;)
