Barbera, I don't doubt that some machines will allow you to do it, but as i
said, it is highly likely you will overheat the machine. Even if it cuts
out itself with a processor temperature monitor, permanent damage can be
done in the long run if it is used in this way.

Hi Mark
You can actually set it not to do do any of the options you mentioned when
the lid is shut. I am not sure but I think it might be in Power Options on
the Control Panel. The place where you set it to do whatever you want after
being idle for so long. I am pretty sure they is an option for what to do
when the lid is closed.
As you say not a great thing to do, but is possible.

Most laptops will not let you operate them with the lid closed in this
manner as they will overheat. When the fan pulls air through the laptop it
is often pulled down through the keyboard. Having the lid down not only
prevents air flowing through in this way but also effectively insulates the
machine causing a double whammy in the overheating stakes. I woudl not
advise trying to do it, and i would doubt you could set the machine to stop
it going into standby or turning off if you shut the lid.

Hi
If I want to use my lapt top and an external large screen, external keyboard
and external mouse, do I have to keep the laptop open? I know about fixing
the screen on the laptop so that I am just looking at the screen on the
external monitor.
