Problem
Why does the Windows key seem to be reversed with the Escape key? This seems to randomly happen, and rebooting reverts their functionality. What is happening that makes this happen, how can I prevent it from happening again, and how do I fix it when it does happen without rebooting?

Fix for: Why does the Start Menu open when I push escape in Windows 7?
Low Risk
I think Ctrl + Esc opens the Start Menu. You probably have a problem with the Ctrl button, or you have some sort of "sticky buttons" option enabled in the accessibility preferences.
