This doesn't actually turn the monitors off. It does make the monitors think they are not connected to the computer, which makes the monitors use less power, but it can't really turn them off. Second, to answer my question above, moving the mouse or pressing Ctrl+Alt+Delete gets you to the login screen after locking down. Great program!

The only thing I can't figure out is what happens when I return to my computer. If I press Ctrl + Alt + Delete to enter my password, do the monitors come back on? If not, I'm not sure I want to install... Can you answer? This looks great. The only thing I can’t figure out is what happens when I return to my computer.
