Turn the computer around so the button faces the wall.
Hi all, Does anybody know how can I disable (if it is possible) POWER OFF button when working in Windows2000? The problem is that my little son (1 year old) often sneak to my computer and presses POWER button. Windows silently shuts down :-(. No matter what task it performs at that time (downloading 600+ Mb files from network or burning CD, or simply closes not saved files in editors). Please, help. Looking forward for a solution, Nic Tiger.

Take a plastic cap - be it a coke bottle cap or whatever, one tape. Tape the cap over the power button. There. That will fool the one year old.

Put some black electrical tape over it.

Look in the control panel at 'Power Options' tab 'Advanced'

But this applies only to OS without ACPI (if I don't confuse this term) support such as DOS. But when in Windows, when power off button is pressed the signal is raised and this signal goes to Windows and Windows shuts down. There is no need to hold button for 4 sec. As long as power button only raises signal (not hardware power off), I think there should be possibility to turn default Windows' logic off. I think this can be done with system registry. But I don't know how to do it. Sincerely yours, Nic Tiger.Hi all, Does anybody know how can I disable (if it is possible) POWER OFF button when working in Windows2000?

Mutes the noise, too.
