Thanks for your prompt reply, now I got it.

But it didn't work, due to that it didn't started Windows shell. When I start explorer.exe manually it will turn of the screen, i cut and pasted a bit and got him to start windows shell and blank the screen but then it will flicker on windows in between, annoying. Another problem I am going to run in to is that if I turn it of this way I can not restart XBMC until it goes to sleep.

As a background what I try to accomplish are that I want to have a server and xbmc as a client on the same machine, if someone turns xbmc off (on the power button or exit) I need to have the computer to wait until the background processes are finished (ex. nextpvr recording) until it goes to sleep. It would be the best just to turn the telly off, but my aim is to get it to look like it turns off if you exit or press the button. Next problem on the list is if I have a recording or another device turning the server on and the TV is still on it is going to look like it start up for no reason.

Hmm much problem for a small issue, I know, but if this could be sorted I would be forever grateful
