Hi
While watching movies on my laptop the LED lights are annoying. Like I read in many forums I cover them with something but hate it. Is there really not a way to turn them off? I think even a program like VLC[^] could use a function like that!

I own an MSI VR603 Windows7 laptop.

Wish I could use C#
Thanks for your help in advance.

I think this is very much OEM specific, all computers and laptops have different arrays of hardware and LED's for all different functions. I suggest you ask the question on the OEM forums.

Sorry, that low-level functionality cannot be controlled from managed code, or even the Win32 API.

$0.01 of electrical tape or black nail polish (from your local dollar store or goth chick) is cheap and does the job better than code.

+5. I'd give you an extra for the goth chick comment. Awesome.
