    Does anyone know the application to tweak power button settings?

    Do you have vista or xp?
    in vista: Control panel -> Power Management -> on the left side should be something like: "choose what should happed when i close the lid".

    i don't remember where it is in xp. but should be 100% in Control panel -> Power Managemen

    It's called Power4Gear and you can download the latest version from the Asus support site.

    That is correct. It shouldnt matter what laptop you use. Its all the same software. If you have the driver CD that came with your laptop, that also has it.
