I have the acer S7 392. How can I disable the power button?

Is there a way to disable the power button? Most PC's at least force you to hold the power button down for a few seconds before it powers off, but this button, whhich is perfectly placed for an accident, immediately shuts off the machine.

 

Please someone tell me I can disable it or set it to wok with a timer.

 

BTW love this machine (minus the power button and battery life)
