Thanks for your help. That's what I expected and feared. I'll report back when I've tried with an external keyboard.

Hi, this problem happen's on my mum's laptop running XP Home. Once it's booted up, whatever key I press; when going to type something, results in some sort of folders or applications popping up, minimising windows, taking me to the desktop and the like happens. It's as if they are shortcuts; as if I'm holding down the windows key as well (but I'm not). If I press the windows key it fixes it, but sometimes only temporarily. If I press down windows, ctrl and shift it works better. I don't know if the shift button is much help though because I tried just ctrl and shift and it didn't do anything. The 'Use Stickykeys' box is unchecked and so is the 'Use shortcut' box for it too. My mum thinks it's a virus but AVG only finds tracker cookies from random sites. She uses IE 8 and I use Chrome (used to use FF). While I'm asking this question, could you tell me also if it's her or me picking up these?
