you can turn off the sleep button.. is it on your keyboard you mean??? depending on what brand the keyboard is you would go into the software that came with the keyboard... if that doesn't work the way I would do it is by going into your cmos and telling it not to let you put the computer to sleep

as for DX I don't know too much about it.. but I have made objects before... let me see if I can do something for you...

I will be back..

set the type of object in the properties to be system... and the sub type underneath that... set it to be find... that was an easy one...

I don't if this will help.. but if you are running the whole object desktop... in the control center folder their are mini apps... that shut down the computer and log off and such...

you can link to one of those if that helps

well there is no sleep option in the system type of button but there is a shutdown options one so this will work
I would still like to know how to make it a single button if anyone want to help further

hmmm... what do you mean by a single button???

Successfully updated karma reason!

a button that I click that will just make my computer go into sleep mode instead of bringing up that window with the three options
