Returning from standby

I often accidentally return from standby by moving my mouse slightly. I find
this annoying and wonder if I can disable the mouse when in standby, so that
touching it does not result in a return from standby.

Thanks

Sure. Go to Device Manger. Right click My Computer | Manage | Device
Manager. Double click the mouse entry, and on the Power Management tab
untic the box "Allow this device to wake the computer". Ok out.
