I was wondering if anyone knows how to disable the sleep key on the microsoft internet keyboard. I cant find anything and the damn thing is annoying me since i never put my computer in sleep mode and have accidentally pushed it a few times.

i have a logitech and want to disable it as well. I tried looking in the BIOS and tried under win2k's power management, but to no avail. When my computer "sleeps", bad things happen when i try to wake it up.
