It's done in the BIOS itself. However, I think only on older machines. I think newer ones don't have that option anymore.

You enter the BIOS by pressing DEL right after powering on your PC, if it's a custom built.
If it's a machine like Dell etc. it'll probably be one of the F keys that lets you access the bios.

You won't find anything that says disable BIOS, as you can't disable it.
Thought you wanted to disable shadowing. . . I know that older BIOS have an option called "BIOS shadowing" or similar. Haven't seen it on newer BIOS, though.

What mainboard do you have ?
