Disabling Automatic Monitor Wake Up

[Mike]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Is there a way to DISABLE the behavior in windows that automatically
wakes up/turns the monitor back on after a mouse or keyboard activity
is sensed? I don't want it to wake up unless I hit a specific shortcut
key (I have that feature programmed and need to disable the window's
feature for it to work correctly).

Thanks!

I found out that the BIOS wakes up the monitor not windows and my BIOS
does not provide a way to disable this.
