Hello Tim, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Do you mean the Windows Key instead? If so, then this can help.

Strange, I have never seen this before. Has it always been doing this?

What type (notebook/desktop) of computer do you have, and it's brand and model number? Maybe it's a feature in a program exclusive to that brand and model.

brand new acer 5745 laptop. right out of the box it does this.
