Dell keyboard question
I recently set up an old Dell desktop with a keyboard from a new Dell desktop (don't ask).
The new keyboard has a key with a crescent moon icon, which when pressed (accidentally or deliberately) puts the computer to sleep immediately. How can I disable this button? I would prefer that a single errant keystroke not shut down the whole system.
Many thanks.

Go to your Power Options (search from Start Menu/Screen), Choose what the power buttons do (from the left), then set the sleep button action accordingly. In some cases, you need to use the keyboard software to set it, but it can usually be done from Windows Power Options.
