• How to stop windows media player from launching when I hit enter?

  I'm on Windows XP Home Edition

  Never had this problem before.
  Turned the computer on last night.
  Whenever I hit enter WMP starts.
  I rebooted, disconnected the keyboard, reconnected, etc..
  Help!

  Thanks for the reply.

  I answer so that if anyone else has this problem in the future this can also help.
  Method 1 - I do not have a shortcut for WMP on desktop, so it's s/o.
  Method 2 - I had actually downloaded an upgrade to Adobe Flash Player the previous night.
  So I uninstalled, restarted, but the problem was still there.
  Method 3 - (my method)-j' swapped the keyboard, rebooted and the problem is solved.
  Don't know why, no damage has been done to the keyboard, no spill, etc..
  I hope it was.
  Thanks again for the support.
