Its God telling you that you shouldn't be surfing porn at work and then quickly trying to cover it up.

windows+D works too for that purpose. plus, if you hit it again, it'll bring it all back up!

does the windows key still work at all? does it bring up the start menu?

you can try tweakUI. there's a setting, under the Explorer section "Enable Windows+X hotkeys". if the box is unchecked, check it. otherwise, try turning it off and on. requires logging out of windows, tho. worth a try.. :dunno: tweakUI is a nice little program, too
