Hardware Mods / C7xx Power Button

I can still press Home/Power On to start up. Is this hard wired ? I guess it's in the ROM.
I would really like to modify it - every time I power up I switch tabs. It's starting to get annoying.
I have the same problem. My workaround for now was to install KeyHelper, which allows you to map Shfift+HOME to be an application switcher like ALT-TAB does on your desktop PC. So even though I return to the home screen and switch tabs when I power on with "Home", I can return to the last active application by pressing "Shift+Home" immediately afterwards. This reduces the annoyance slightly.
I also wish there was a good way to fix the power button. I've cracked open the Z case many times and placed the broken button back in a position where it sort of works for a few weeks, but then eventually it falls out of place again.
