    Vista: Document Window Randomly Opens

    So I have Windows Vista 64 and every now and then, usually after a restart, the Window linked to my Windows Documents randomly starts to appear at pretty regular intervals...

    I am not sure which key is linked to pop up this folder in Vista automatically but apparently it is being hit? Or atleast it seems that way.

    It is as though there is a macro associated with this key... so the first thing I did was to disconnect my G15 and make sure it was not like a stuck key or something like that.. still pops up.

    I also disconnected my N52te Nostromo and Razer Naga .... Still no help...

    How do I check what is launching this document window? Is there a way to see if it is a keystroke or program that is initiating this Documents window?

    Like I said it seems mostly just to go away but it is really upsetting when it randomly starts to happen again...

    At this point I really doubt it is some peripheral... it seems to be a program within windows that is "macroing/scripting" some keystrokes that launche this window...

    Even as I am writing this post my Documents window keep popping up...

    I have run malware detection stuff like spybot/avast/adaware to no avail

    Any help at all is appreaciated and thank you very much in advance.

    still googling this problem and all I seem to find is people having this problem at start up... ie the documents window pops on boot and can be changed with regecit so not to pop...

    I have yet to find anyone with my problem wherein the documents window continually keeps popping up... just not one time at start up

    It's Vista - it's not a virus.

    I would suspect a macro on the keyboard or mouse. The Windows key + F opens the documents folder and starts a search, it could be a macro for that is assigned to a key that is sticking on the G15.
