Any hints on turning off the Power Off Button on the Keyboards?

Chance
 
That would depend on which computer system you were talking about. (My computer has none)
 
Which OS? Your keyboard should have a way of settimg up and "customizing" certain buttons. If so, set it for action = none. In XP, you can go to control panel > display > properties > screen savers > power > advanced and play with the "power" bottons.
 
We use Windows 2000 Pro. What I need is keyboards with out the extra keys!

Our peop;e do alot of data entry and sometimes they hit the Power Off key and then our accounting software goes nuts because it does not get shut down properly.

Either do the above suggested, or go out and buy standard keyboards they range between $8 (5€) to no end...

Also, check in the BIOS. IIRC, mine has options to disable the Keyboard power buttons.
