Changing Function Power Button in Vista
Changing the power button functionality in Vista is actually very easy just by a little trick.
1.Open a command promt (type "cmd" in the start menu search field) then type the following at the command prompt window: powercfg.cpl, 1
2.You can also use another way: Control Panel \ Power Options \ Change Plan Settings \ Change Advanced Power Settings
3.Once you get a window like the one above, scroll down so as to appear the words "Power buttons and lid"
4.From here, you can change options such as:
- Lids close action: action to be taken if the screen is closed notebook
- Power button action: action will be taken if physical power button is pressed
- Sleep button action: action will be taken if physical sleep button is pressed
- Start menu power button: the action will be taken if the power button on the start menu click
5.You can alter the function of the power button to Sleep, Hibernate, or Shut Down, or even not working for the physical power button.
