well, i'm not sure how to disable them, but you could just assign them a different function, or i guess assign them no function (that would disable them, i guess.) it depends on what kind of keyboard you have. on my my microsoft one, i can alter it in a program under program/files, or under control pannel, and then keyboard.

Right click your desktop and select "Properties". On the Screensaver tab, click the "Power" button and navigate to the "Advanced" tab in the dialog that pops up. Here you will find a listing for Power Key actions (see attachment). Simply select "Do Nothing" on each of the dropdowns for Power Button and Sleep Button ("When I press the ............ on my Computer").

Hope that helps
