Tekkerson Posted February 5, 2010 Share Posted February 5, 2010 Well, title says it all. I can't for the life of me find a way to disable the button which is very close to esc I push it accidentally and sometimes my cat pushes it and puts my computer to sleep. :( Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872890-cant-find-a-way-to-disable-sleep-button-on-keyboard/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Spark99 Subscriber² Posted February 5, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 5, 2010 Click the Battery Icon in the task tray > More Power Options > Left Pane: Choose what the power buttons do > Change When I press the sleep button to: Do nothing for both On Battery and Plugged In > Save Changes Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872890-cant-find-a-way-to-disable-sleep-button-on-keyboard/#findComment-592204832 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tekkerson Posted February 5, 2010 Author Share Posted February 5, 2010 There's no option for a sleep button, only for the power button which is on my case...

+Spark99 Subscriber² Posted February 5, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 5, 2010 Oh, not a laptop... In that case: In the Power Options Screen > Click Change Plan Settings beside the Power Plan Enabled > Change advanced power settings (at bottom of page) Check the settings under the Sleep and Power buttons and lid trees.

Magpie Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Are you using a desktop PC ? The option(s) for sleep buttons etc are only visible on my netbook and not for the desktop PC. If it's for a desktop you can download and use a free prog called Sharpkeys (google it) which lets you remap your keyboard rather than use a risky reg hack. This will let you change the key(s) which the cat likes to press ;) Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872890-cant-find-a-way-to-disable-sleep-button-on-keyboard/#findComment-592206322 Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Spark99 Subscriber² Posted February 6, 2010 Subscriber² Share Posted February 6, 2010 Definitely exists on my Desktop PC (Posting from my Laptop). You will not have the Battery or Lid Closing options, but the Advanced Sleep Settings are there: Control Panel > Power Options Change Advanced Power Options Power Options > Advanced Settings Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872890-cant-find-a-way-to-disable-sleep-button-on-keyboard/#findComment-592209082 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest xiphi Posted February 7, 2010 Share Posted February 7, 2010 Weird that 7 says his pc has no sleep button when it does. 7 says I have one, but I don't. lol Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/872890-cant-find-a-way-to-disable-sleep-button-on-keyboard/#findComment-592209266 Share on other sites More sharing options...
