Go to the desktop.
Right click anywhere on the desktop screen.
Select Graphics options.
In there, select the Hotkeys and select Disable.

Thank you Taf.....

I do not have any hotkey options anywhere on those 4 tabs (When I right click on desktop)

Months ago I took all the hot keys reg keys out of the registry and I thought that worked but its happend 3 or 4 times since...........

Re: Disabling hot keys!!!
 

Isn't that when the windows key is pressed (and held) like Shift or ALT ?

Perhaps a Faulty/Stuck key or dodgy keyboard ?

Yes Paul usually it is but when this happens NO KEYS are stuck down....

I have like I said months ago removed all 'Keyboard Accessibility' keys from the reg except 1 that said its active and the other I dont think has anything to do with this..... (I dunno what would happen if I take them out)

As you can see TIMEOUT says its ON all the other ones were not on and I removed them last year sometime........ (Hopefull it would stop this)

Thanks Paul and all!!!

Upgrade to ME hahaha

Re: Disabling hot keys!!!
 

Nothing wrong with ME, was so much better and more stable than 98.

Re: Disabling hot keys!!!
 

I thought it was the other way around. I didn't use 98 although I seem to remember at the time that people rated it, I went straight to ME and it was pretty sketchy.

Windows Me [Mistake Edition] quickly gained a reputation for being unstable.

Ya I guess it depended on what your ran on it..I knew someone who had ME and had no problems......


I cannot make this happen on purpose dues!!

I press shift 5 times,I hold right shift 8 seconds and nothing....... This happens across multiple keyboards so its not the keyboard...........

Its so aggravating!!
