I registered this account because this is still the top Google result for this problem...
and I know the correct answer :) (emphasis for lost souls who might ignore this post)
See below:
It's from a Windows Alt+Left Click.
- Holding Alt + Double Left Click on My Computer = Open control panel
- Holding Alt + Double Left Click on a shortcut = Open properties
- Holding Alt + various keys in Firefox will do various actions, such as opening toolbars (Alt + f/e/s/b/t/h), opening home page (alt + home), jumping to address bar (Alt + D), etc.
- Holding Alt while right click the desktop will prevent the context menu form opening (the one to change desktop resolution
If you are having the same problems as the OP, it's because your Alt key is stuck, or your PC for some reason thinks it's being pressed.
