Software or Registry Mod to make the screen turn off after 30-60 sec?

[kinesis]

WindowsMo's integrated software in the settings -> backlight panel only dims the screen, is there a way through registry hack or a different piece of software (nuePowerCPL didnt work either) to make the screen dim off automatically after non use regardless if you are listening to music, doing gps, browsing web, whatever.

i dont like the option to turn the phone completely off after a certain time because i have palringo IM and i like to be online all the time.

so there really needs to be an alternative option to save power...

Kind of like my computer monitor at home, it turns off on its own after awhile.. i dont havce to put it to sleep. psShutXP is real close but thats a hassle, theres got to be a way to hack the registry on this to -1 (off) or 0 (lowest brightness possible at the very very least)

why WOULDNT microsoft put this feature in =(
