standby shortcut ??

[Joel]

Got my new Dell ....... but prefer the keyboard that came with my older Gateway.. I installed the Keyboards driver and got all of the shortcut buttons to work except for the Standby button.... Well that's a drag.. I'm using XP.... I found an option to use the computers power switch to put it to sleep, and that helps, but I would live to create a shortcut so that I can use the keyboard, and if I ever need to hit the switch to cut power I won't be able to, I'll have to pull the plug... So I hope to find a shortcut or actually get the keyboards sleep button to work?? It's a Gateway Multi Function keyboard..... thanks Joel

Here is a program that will put your computer into standby. Can you set that key to a program? If so, you could use this program and set that key to start this program.
