I'm trying to disable the power option of standby (sleep) on windows 2000. Right now when I accidently press the Sleep button on my keyboard the computer goes to standby. I want to not be able to use this button.
My setting is:
Display Properties -> Power -> Advanced -> When I press the sleep button on my computer is set to Standby and there is no such option to set it to Never like in windows XP.
Is there an option to disable going to standby in BIOS ACPI? If so how?
Thanks in advance.

I'd remove the key from the keyboard if I kept accidentally pressing it. :)

Just a guess! Check for an option in the bios.

Do yourself a favor BACKUP!

My BIOS configiration is:
-Suspend Mode [Auto] (possible values: S1 (POS) only, S3 Only, Auto).
- Repost Video on S3 Resume [No]
- ACPI 2.0 Support [Enabled]
- ACPI APIC Support [Enabled]
What do I need to change to disable the standby option?
