    Rather than unistalling your keyboard driver (you need a driver and the default one still lets the button shut down your computer) go to control panel and open up "power options".

    This first page will let you set how long until the monitor shuts off itself. Set that (to 5 minutes, 10 minutes, whatever). Then go to the advanced tab. For the sleep button, change it from "standby" to "do nothing". Then you should be all set.

      I don't think there's such a thing. Or rather, not every version of Windows has that option.

      Solution 1: use a keyboard without the sleep button
      Solution 2: take the button out, destroy the contact underneath, replace button

        Sorry, forgot to mention what operating system. But Flash hasn't mentioned what OS he uses, so we can't give specific instructions. I use XP, and it most certainly has this option:
