    i have a shortcut on me desktop to shut down the computer... then i have the shortcut set up to be numpad 4
    so i just press NUMPAD4 whenever i wanna power down, and as 4 powering up, well, i'm never in that much a rush, that i can't wait the 15 seconds for me machine to power up...
    at least not usually...
    so anyway...great mod, great idea, but just imagine if someone else were to get a remote for your pc, so they could turn it on and off whne they please, then all they need is a trojan on your machine, and they can do whatever they want...maybe not...
