I have winxp sp3, legal version, automatic
updates.

Keyboard(info from driver tab): Standard
101/102-Key or Microsoft natural PS/2
Keyboard

From few days ago, whenever I press CTRL
inside a Windows Explorer(e.g. My Computer)
, my default browser launches my homepage.
Or when I am in Chrome/IE, it goes to my
homepage.

The problem does NOT exist when I use
another keyboard.

I tried reinstalling drivers, no results.

I changed/removed registry key which is for
"WebHome"
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Micro
soft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey
\7
No results.


Any ideas?
