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?
1Better than this is to set it to ask what to do. This way he has an escape route if the button is pressed by accident, but can still use the button on purpose as well. – eleven81 – 2009-10-15T17:19:49.833
I prefer not to be asked. Confirmations don't help for potentially dangerous operations. Consult Raskin, Cooper, &c. on that :-) – Joey – 2009-10-15T17:25:23.847
I do read the dialog boxes unlike a lot of people, so this is probably the best thing to do. I'll try to see if it works. – Javier – 2009-10-15T18:19:46.857
