It can be irritating when you bump your mouse
and it wakes up your pc.
I Found this useful tip on…
http://www.gordonknight.co.uk
Open command prompt and type “powercfg -devicequery wake_armed”
it will show a list of devices that can wake your PC.
For example…
powercfg -devicequery wake_armed
Standard 101/102-Key or Microsoft Natural PS/2 Keyboard
Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical
f you want to disable the mouse type….
powercfg -devicedisablewake “Microsoft USB Wheel Mouse Optical”
Now why for Christs sake cant you do that via control panel ?
You can. I just went to control panel, device manager. Scroll down to “Mice and other pointing devices”. Click on your mouse type and go to the power management tab. There you can choose if you want the mouse to wake up the computer or not.
Ha ha got me, thanks for feedback
