Starting computer up from spacebar on keyboard

Is it possible to set the keyboard up to start the
computer from pressing the spacebar in Win XP Prof?

My office computer has Win 2000 and my keyboard is marked
on the spacebar with a pic of a monitor and it works that
way. My co-worker is constantly pressing the start button
the on the box too hard and it is not working properly now
and this shortcut would be so helpful.

Thanks!
 
That would be a function of the motherboard BIOS, not XP.
