Good Day,
I just want to ask how can I disable the power off key, stand-by key and sleep key in my keyboard. Been searching the internet but unluckily, didnt find any solutions. I currently have a windows XP installed in my pc. Hope you can help. Thanks.

These are not "standard" keyboard keys so you must have one of the many "Windows" or "Internet" or Multimedia" or "Deluxe" or "whatever" keyboards available on the market from a large variety of vendors. If the software that came with the keyboard doesn't provide you any way of disabling or reprogramming these keys, you may as well be asking "how do I disable the delete key?" In other words, you can't get there from here. The functioning of these types of keys is totally a function of the kyboard drivers and configuration utilities provided by the keyboard manufacturer, not the OS. Sorry.
