Is there a way to stop a MacBook Pro from going to sleep when you shut the lid?

[QUOTE="DriftNismo, post: 960664, member: 79409"] Hey, As I'm getting rid of my desktop pretty soon, I'm going to be using my MBP on my monitor a lot more. I'm doing so now, however, it is slightly annoying having two different-sized displays, and (obviously) whenever I shut the lid on the MBP it puts itself to sleep. I was wondering if there was a way to shut the lid without it going to sleep, so I could have the MBP tucked away somewhere when using it on the monitor with a keyboard and mouse (kind of like a Mac Mini effect). Is this possible, or will I just have to put up with the laptop being partially open and on top of my desk next to the monitor while using the monitor? [/QUOTE]
