I use my laptop in reverse mode (keyboard down).  How can I power on without lifting it up to access the power button?

Thanks for the idea, Banhien.  It took me some time, but I found:

Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\ClickToRun\InstantBoot in the registry.  

I was confused about what to do with it.  It contained REG_SZ blank and REG_DWORD C2RTaskUpdateApply in Progress.

I tried changing the DWORD to 1 instead of 0, but it didn't help.  I also tried changing the REG_SZ to 1 instead of blank.  That didn't do the trick either.

Can you help me figure out how make this work.  I'd really appreciate it.
