Go to [Start > Settings > Control Panel > Power Options] and click on the Advanced tab. In the pull-down menu, select how you wish the power button to work.

Warning: In the When I close the lid of my portable computer pull-down menu, DO NOT select Do nothing – otherwise the system will still run at high speed while the processor’s fan grill is fully blocked by the closed LCD panel. The heat will damage the LCD panel.
