Disable buttons Ipaq 5455??

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.pocketpc (More info?)

How do I disable the volume record button on the left side of my HP
Ipaq 5455 so that when its off I don't accidently hit it and turn it
on. I notice that whenever I hit any of the front buttons when in off
mode unit turns on. Adds to using up battery fast if accidentally
pressed while off. I tried going to settings then buttons and putting
none for the programs associated with the buttons but that does not
work. I distintly remember seeing something that tells you how to
disable any of the buttons exept the power of course, when unit is
off.

TIA
