As if they are reading my mind over lifehacker.com. I really wanted some way to quickly put my computer to sleep and were looking for a small utility to do this for me. Another small icon sitting on my already overcrowded tray, but it turns out there is a simpler way to put your computer to sleep. The winner tip of "your best windows tip" contest is Mr. Fusion's three-key shutdown tip. What you need to do is for quickly stopping your computer is to press:
Windows key, U , U again.
I quickly figured out that I can also do standby by pressing:
Windows key, U, S.
and for Restart:
Windows key, U, R.
Lifehacker rocks!!!
