Comment:
I have a problem that recently started on my computer. For no reason, some of my keys become "hotkeys". If I type an F, it opens the find files box. H, opens the help box, R, the run box, etc... I find if I press the windows key on my keyboard, then click on an empty desktop area, then go back to the app im running, the problem stops. I would like to know how to make it stop permanetly. Has anyone else had this problem??
