It's specific to your laptop manufacturer and not part of the operating system. Search on the make and model of your laptop and terms like "brightness" and you should soon find the key-stroke using google. hth, Chip ------------------------------ Chip Orange Database Administrator Florida Public Service Commission Chip.Orange@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx (850) 413-6314 (Any opinions expressed are solely those of the author and do not necessarily reflect those of the Florida Public Service Commission.) ________________________________ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Nancy Shugart Sent: Thursday, April 03, 2008 9:51 PM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Screen brightness with Windows XP Awhile back, someone suggested turning screen brightness down to save battery power on laptops. I found screen brightness on my system running Windows Vista but can't find screen brightness on my system which is running Windows XP home. I looked under display on control panel but it's not there. Does anyone know where it would be hiding?
