Disabling Power Button again

[Richard Allibone]

The Control Panel does not give me the option to disable
the button just Standby or Power Off. I want nothing to
happen.
Also, my BIOS does not give any options for the power
button.
I keep hitting it accidently and the machine shuts down
straight away - what pain.

The worst! After the tenth time this happened I did the right thing: I
pulled the button out like a bad tooth.
Not so elegant, but reeaaaally effective.
Good luck,
Marcio

I had a machine where I'd hit the button inadvertently when going for
the FDD drive eject button. I glued a chuck of styrofoam just above
the power button to avoid accidentally pressing it. Cheap and
effective. Hardware designers should be forced to acually _use_ what
they do.
