Hi,
I don't have that option there, that's where I had looked initially. Under that setting (advanced within power), the only option is "always shows icon on the taskbar" and that's it. That's why I don't know what to do.

Click the Advanced tab. At the bottom you will see a dropdown list titled, "When I press the power button on my computer...". Choose "Do Nothing" from the dropdown, click "Apply" and "OK".
