    How do I disable "Swipe to shut down" option?


    Since I bought a new ASUS laptop I cannot get rid of this annoying option: "slide to shut down the window" after my laptop goes to sleep mode and I want to start using it again. Why I cannot remove it and go directly to enter the password screen? Often it messes up and switches off my laptop instead of opening the password window. This function is really annoying and time-wasting, why can it not be disabled? I googled this issue, but all advice is to delete slidetoshutdown.exe from Windows/System32 folder, however, Windows does not allow me to do so, and I cannot edit and adjust access to it.

    :)
