Thanks Fil

That sounds like an effective and very cost efficient solution to try.

Is the problem that people are turning it off?
You can change your power options (in control panel) to "do nothing" under
"When i press the power button on my computer.
This stops it shutting down unless it is HELD in for 5 seconds

Hi

I am sure this thread has come up before, so forgive me.

Does anyone know of a good product to protect the power switch (on / off
button) on a PC? I saw a key operated one somewhere and wondered if these
are in use or if anyone has any other ingenious solutions to computers being
switched off which does not involve bulky cabinets.

Thank you,

Claire Barnes
