I have Windows XP, so I know I can put my computer to sleep (standby mode). Unfortunately, my keyboard didn’t come with a ‘sleep’ button, so I can’t press that button to make it go to sleep. Is there a combination of buttons I can press, or software I can download that will allow me to put my computer to sleep?

Thanks.

If you don’t press anything for a long time, it will automatically go into standby. You can edit how long it takes for it to go into standby somewhere in the Control Panel, but my laptop is slightly configured different from a regular desktop computer. Also, if you go to ‘Turn off Computer’, there is a standby option there.
