Can someone tell me why ?
« on: January 08, 2006, 06:32:00 am »
When I press ctrl...alt...delete       I get like 20-35 task windows opening up !          :huh:

Is this a bug I picked up or what ??

Everything else seems to be ok  (knocks on wood)    ;)

Turn your keyboard upside down and shake it around a bit, give it a couple of taps. Turn it right side up, then repeat. You'd be suprised at what falls out... cookie crumbs etc... Then see if this condition persists. (I'm suspecting a sticky key)

or just pop off the keys so you can easily clean the keyboard.  Don't worry, they snap back into place.

Well nothing fell out, but I did remove the keys and blew them out with a duster.

Replaced the keys and it now doesn't do that !    :multi:

Thanks Guys !           ;D ;D ;D ;D

Glad to hear it.  :)

I use KeyTronic keyboards exclusively, they are virtually indestructable, and they like cookies...  ;D

and when you really want to mess with someone, pop the keys off the keyboard and move them around so they aren't in the right place.  If you really hate them, move them all 1 place to the left or right so that it's not immediately evident what's happened.   ;D

Can also be done with certain calculators. Switching the +, - , X, / keys is most effective ;-)

...not that I know from first hand experience
...I just imagine it could be done like that... say to a bud in grad school who went to the restroom for a sec...
I'm just sayin'


Pulling the anti-theft strips from a library book and hiding it in a friend's backpack binding is also something that could be done....
....or so I would imagine......

All us section chiefs used to do that to the platoon sergeants coffee. when he wasn't looking we'd move it around on his desk. he's reach for it and miss continually as we'd do it over and over. eventually he was convinced he was nuts. then we'd all lean subtly in one direction or the other in unison as if gravity were mucked up.
