Keyboard is doing some wierd things instead of typing when I hit keys

[chrisemeka123]

Hi I have a windows 7 machine that has been running without any problems until now... Whenever I hit a key something besides typing tends to happen.
Hitting "p" opens up a small, long window that lets me change my monitor setup (options being "Computer only", "Duplicate", "Extend", and "Projector only")
Hitting "e" opens up the Computer window with explorer.
Hitting "t" scrolls thru my open programs with the task bar.
Hitting "d" closes the active program.
Hitting "r" opens the Run window.
Hitting "f" opens a file search window.
Any other keys do what they normally do.

I'm worried I accidentally hit some key combination that causes some keyboard shortcuts to always be active because this happens no matter what I'm doing such as typing in a search bar in Firefox or typing a paper in MS Word

Sounds like your windows key is stuck.
