Default I need some help..I have no clue what is going on..

I was merely repeating what the poster stated they saw....that it
minimized the browser window. It *does* minimize the browser window,
because it minimizes all open windows. ;-)

It's unlikely that the physical key is mechanically stuck on both
keyboards the poster has tried so far, but the symptoms point to the
WinKey. I don't know if it can be "stuck" independently from the actual
hardware, but I've seen stranger things.

As "glee" writes in his reply, the symptom is of a stuck-down "Win
key" (the key with the Window's logo on it) but he is incorrect when
he says that Win+D minimizes the IE Browser.

Here is a list of the Win+key combination shortcuts :

WinKey = Open Start Menu
WinKey+E = Open an Explorer window
WinKey+R = Open the Run dialog
WinKey+L = Show Welcome sreen (or swich user).
WinKey+Pause/Break = Open the System Properties
WinKey+F = Find: All Files
WinKey+Ctrl+F = Find: Computer
WinKey+M = Minimize all open windows
WinKey+D = Show/Hide Desktop
WinKey+Shift+M = Undo minimize all open windows
WinKey+Tab = Cycle through taskbar program buttons
WinKey+F1 = Open Windows Help

Try investigating if either "Winkey" (it could be the letf or right
hand one) is stuck, by gently probing around it with small knife or
toothpick...

Okay. I was on my computer, I had pressed the "L" key into my browser
and it logged me out. I pressed the "D" key and it minimized my
browser. I didn't try any other's... But I did go on to my husband's
computer to search this up. I have already checked the Stickey Keys
and
they are not on. I tried changing the Keyboard and I had no luck
there...Anyone know what I could do? I have all my work on my
computer.
Thank's in advance
