I have a 17" mid-2010 MacBook Pro, model identifier 6,1. I want to be able to map the power button to another function in Windows, such as a simulated Ctrl-Alt-Del. Anyone have any ideas?
Got a tip for us?

It's not attached to the keyboard. I've tried a number of tools, including <conio.h>, to pick it up, and nothing that works via the keyboard sees anything.

It is a soft button. Figure out how this is done and you might be able to do something. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Change-what-happens-when-you-press-the-power-button-on-your-computer
However IIRC Crtl-Alt-Del can't be mapped. That was why they picked it.
