Hi,

Wizmo.exe (freeware)
http://grc.com/wizmo/wizmo.htm

Try this:
wizmo.exe monoff

Torgeir,

That is exact what I need. Many thanks!

I have a confusion between the explanation and the photo on the website. I
should place the wizmo.exe in c:\windows\system folder according to the
explanation while the screen capture is placed in the folder of
c:\windows\system32. I currently put it into the latter one, create a
shortcut on the desktop, change the Target to C:\WINDOWS\system32\wizmo.exe
monoff and works. Doesn't it matter to place it in either foler?

Hi,

It doesn't matter where you put wizmo.exe, you could have put it at
C:\ or C:\MyUtils\ for that matter. The advantage of putting it in
C:\Windows\System32\ is that that folder is in your system path, so
you will be able to run wizmo.exe without specifying where wizmo.exe
is located.
