Whenever I am typing the start menu just randomly comes up. Im not hitting the windows key and there doesnt seem to be any specific keys that cause this. Its not a mouse issue either. Its really frustrating to be typing a paper and then you see you are typing in the start menu search feature all of the sudden. Why is this happening? Any help is appreciated.
Im running Vista Home Premium.

I'm not sure, but you may have, somehow, 'triggered' the search box in start:

Search box: Conveniently placed directly above the Start button, this area lets you find files by typing a bit of their contents — a few words in an e-mail, a document, a band name, a program’s name, or anything else. Press Enter, and Vista quickly dredges it up for you.

Thanks for the reply. How could I have triggered it? Im just typing. Is there a hotkey combination I dont know about?

I don't know unless you inadvertently made one.

Have you done anything like this for any programs?

No, I just bought the computer 3 months ago and I dont know enough about computers to change anything like that.
