System Silencer, Set PC Idle State Actions

There are usually a lot of things that don’t need to be running or active if the system is idle. This may include the computer monitor, music playing in the background or certain windows or processes that do not need to be open in idle state.

System Silencer is a versatile highly configurable program to set PC idle state actions. The program offers options to configure actions for idle states in desktop and battery mode.

One interesting aspect of the portable application is that it offers to set the idle time for actions individually.

The program can perform the following actions when the computer is idle:

• Toggle mute
• Toggle show desktop
• Toggle taskbar icons
• Toggle desktop icons
• Hide windows
• Kill processes
• Run programs / files
• Turn off computer monitors
• Lock the workstation

Each action can be configured individually in the program for desktop mode and battery mode, including the option to set idle times for each action individually as well.

It is for instance possible to activate the hide windows action and configure window names that the program should hide when the computer is in idle state for the specified time.

The same is possible for running background processes, and programs that could be run in idle state.

The main advantage of System Silencer over comparable applications is its customizability, which exceeds that of the other programs.

A click on the save and apply button saves the configuration and minimizes the program to the system tray.

System Silencer is an excellent program for Windows users who want as much control as possible over their computer in idle state. (via Cybernetnews)
