 shift key Post a Reply  
From: Wayne on 12/13/2002
hello,
when I'm in internet explorer or outlook express, I notice that when I hit the shift key, it toggles me back to the first page I had opened. For instance, when I have internet explorer open, and then check my email in outlook, if I try to send a letter and use the shift key to capitalize something, it toggles me out of outlook, and back to the previous page. I checked the keyboard out when both of these programs are closed, and it works fine. I opened up wordpad and ms works and the shift key worked fine. But if I had internet explorer opened up and tried to type something in ms word, the moment I use the shift key, it toggles me back to internet explorer. It sounds like a hotkey program has somehow installed?? Do you have any suggestions as to how to fix this? Thanks for any help you could give. Sincerely,

Wayne

Make sure that your 'ALT' key is not stuck. ALT + SHIFT will cycle through programs. Maybe time for a new keyboard.

Otherwise, I am not familiar with any hotkeys that would be in another combination by default with Windows. Therefore, I think you will have to figure out if you have installed any software on your computer recently that might be causing this behavior.
