Anthony, >Thank you, Art, I could indeed deprive myself of a useful facility by simply >not using it, but I would still like to know the technical reason. The technical reasons are within Windows programing code. I think you would have to ask a programer at Microsoft. I did a Google search on Windows Standby Mode and got 195,000 responses! If you have the time, you might be able to find the reasons on one of those web pages. Take care, Art
