Want to wake computer from standby mode either by click of the mouse or click
of the space bar only. Overall point is not to worry when accidentally
bumping the mouse that computer will come out of standby.

Thanks,
AJ

You can't have it both ways; either use the mouse to do it or not.

There is a little freeware utility called Squeaky Clean
http://www.kiwisyslog.com/squeaky-clean-overview/ that locks the mouse
pointer -- i.e., disables mouse input until the ESC key is hit.
Possibly, you could invoke it and use the keyboard to enter Standby
mode. Of course, Standby might disable the software, like rebooting
would, making it unsuitable for your purpose. Worth a try if you're
having trouble bumping the mouse frequently.

Here's another one http://tinyurl.com/22a3bn

Thanks Ron. Will take a look as should be worth a test.

That is not exact info.
I have DELL Optiplex755 comp and USB optical mouse (this : 'Dell : DELL
Dell - Black - Optical - 5 button - USB - Premium - Vista - Mouse : I/O
Devices : HOME' (http://tinyurl.com/yslncq)

and I have checked also this: 'Logitech USB Optical 3-Button Scroll
Mouse' (http://tinyurl.com/29qzf9) )
When the computer goes to stand-by, mouse turns the light off, but
buttons stay alive, so I can wake up the computer by mouse click (or by
keyboard), but not by mouse movement. This is very convenient behavior
[image: http://www.vistaheads.com/forums/ima...ns/icon14.gif]. BTW,
the settings is Control Panel->Mouse->Hardware->Properties->Power
Management->Allow this device to bring the computer out of standby.
Now I am searching for way how to block the mouse also when only
monitor is in stand-by state.

O.B.
