    I was cleaning my computers' keyboards and desk earlier, and I

    a way to remove/disable it?

    I don't know about locked or how to change the shortcut/s, but
    'normally' one could turn off or reboot the computer with the sequence:

    ctrl-esc (brings up Start menu) U (shortcut item in Start menu opens the Turn off computer function) then S does standby, U shuts down and R restarts.

    Yeah, but I was at the locked screen (winkey+L) so no Start Menu and
    requires to login to get the desktop.
