Using Media Center Quick Resume mode

You can return to your desktop almost instantly by pressing any Sleep button again, by pressing any key on the keyboard, by moving the trackball, or by pressing any button on the remote control if you select the Return the computer from Quick Resume mode on mouse or keyboard activity option in the Power Options Properties window.
