Yes, NauticusLX, this is the ideal "work-around" and is indeed exactly what I do if I want the boxes "off" (for want of a better word to describe the obvious non-off state!). However, be warned, if for some unknown reason your router power cycles, messages will be displayed (normally, "Can't find slimserver", briefly as your computer is still off).
