Auto Screen Lock after set time

Looked around, didn't see anything that easily fit the bill:

Looking for a program, or registry setting to setup the phone to automatically turn the screen off, keep it off, until a specific button is pressed. So there is no automatic dialing.

I'd rather hardware button pressing, so I'm not a fan of the built in "Device Lock', that requires two screen taps to turn on.

I currently have Start > Settings <system tab> -> Key Lock, set to lock buttons until power on button is pressed.

Looking for that, but an automatic version, automatic after a call, or highly customizable time period (10 sec). So I can make a call, and toss the phone in my pocket, and not have to always press the power button again.

Thanks thanks!

Thanks mate, will check it out shortly.

Linking a recommendation is always appreciated, especially for others searching. Can't tell you how many threads I come across, when searching, then have to go and search an app name because someone did not link it.

Re: Auto Screen Lock after set time

He linked it in his post. I wasn't being sarcastic, I was really thanking him.

But thanks drift365, appreciate it from you as well.

Side question:
Does it drain the battery? I remember using mort screen lock (was a clock too), on the 6700 a couple years ago, and it drained my battery like it was fun.

Edit:
Slick program, just as described, and does everything I want. I'll figure out the battery factor myself~

Re: Auto Screen Lock after set time

Is there any way to make the bar slightly shorter? I've accidentally dropped it early a few times.

I dont think that you can change the length of the bar, but you can set it to use keys if you have them.
