windows xp - Disabling Power button on keyboard


My keyboard has a Power button that when pressed turns off the machine. I sometimes press it by accident, and lose everything I was doing in adition to having to wait for the PC to turn off and then turn it on again.


How can I disable this button in Windows XP?



Answer



You can define what the power buttons (Power, sleep, etc.) should do when pressed in the Power options. You can simply set your power button to do nothing.


This will also affect the physical power button on your computer, though.
