Keyboard power buttons

I have a number of keyboards that have a power button that powers the PC off
when pressed. Unfortunately it is located right next to the print screen
button and I am getting hassle because people are pressing the wrong one and
losing work.
I am sure I have disabled the button in the past and I thought it was in
group policies somewhere. But I cannot fnd it anywhere.
Does anyone have any ideas???

That is a function of the software for the keyboard. I don't think it has
anything to do with Group Policy.

Re: Keyboard power buttons

It would surely be under the individual settings for the *keyboard* since it
is a keyboard function, and also has to do with the Advanced Power
Management.
