Hi,

This isn't a big problem jsut an annoyance.

Sometimes when i'm working with the VB editor the tab key no longer works as the tab key but task switches windows instead.

I don't know what i do to make this happen so i have no idea how to turn it off. I assume i pressed a key by accident but which one.

The only way i know to clear this is to reboot the machine which is a hassle as this machine at work takes forever to boot up.

Cheers in advance.
 
It sounds like either your Alt key gets stuck or you've turned on the Windows accessibility feature that lets you press one key right after the other and have Windows interpret it as it you held down the first key while pressing the second.
