      The last time I saw a design dumb enough to include a power key on the keyboard, I was using an Apple IIC! What kind of keyboard are you using? Can you snap the keycap off the bugger? Or just drop a dollop of superglue on it.

Working for the company I do, it will definately be the cheapest keyboard possible!!! :sigh:

          Your probably gonna have to disable on the motherboard, maybe the bios will do it. Matt Newman

            I assume it is working via a "driver" prog loaded on startup, I have seen this method on a friends PC runing 98, i.e. a keyboard hook checking for various special keypresses. If so kill it, or try and remove this key deignation from the config.

              Control Panel-> Power-> Advanced tab. There should be a setting there that controls what the power key does. --Mike-- Ericahist | Homepage | RightClick-Encrypt | 1ClickPicGrabber Ericahist updated (again) Sep 6!
