A while ago, the Geek posted a Keyboard shortcut to put the PC into sleep mode (Start > right arrow > Enter). I have used that a few time because. But sometimes it comes back (after wake-up) with an all white IE screen (and I mean ALL WHITE) that I have to kill with the Task Manager. That defeats the purpose. The wife, who is a lot on AOL, has also encountered funny AOL settings after wake-up.
Did anybody encounter the same problem and how can it be fixed. It's not a big deal but I kind of liked that shortcut.

Thanks Geek for the answer. Looked into my add-ons. There is really nothing exotic (Spybot is the most exotic). But I'll try to disable a few and see what happens. But on the wifes PC it is AOL that plays funny. She claims to be getting some error screen. Have not yet seen it myself because she refuses to use the keyboard shortcut again. And her system is the most basic. Nothing exotic was ever added.
If we use the "traditional" way to go into sleep mode, nothing unusual ever happens. Things work as expected.

I just searched online didn't any built in command to enter sleep from a shortcut.
There is a way that involves downloading a small program that appears to work.
You just download the program, copy it to the Windows folder and then use a command line with the program to enter suspend to ram/standby/sleep mode.
Program 1: PsShutdown (Part of PsTools, the package for download at below link).

Command for sleep: psshutdown -d

Program 2: Nircmd

Command for sleep: nircmd standby

For just a sleep shortcut I would recommend Nircmd as it's a smaller download.
Otherwise I would recommend both PsTools and Nircmd as both let you do many things with the command line that are useful.
