hello,
i work at a school and some of the students have gotten into my laptop its running XP.
the mouse works, but the double clicking of a desktop icon pops up the properties screen instead of running or opening the

icon.
click on a quick launch icon (bottom left) brings up the properties again.
the keyboard does NOT type in anything. instead the 'f' and 'h' key are either arrow left/right or arrow up/down.
as you can see, this is a mega problem and i can't figure it out at all, any ideas of what they did or how to get things

back? (would prefer to NOT do a system restore point)

Sounds like they switched the functions of your mouse buttons. Look in control panel for mouse settings and see if you can fix it. There should be a box to switch primary buttons. You don't want a check in there.

Now that is funny.

sicky keys and fn keys or sumthin are on i think you press shift and the fn button to undo that and for stickey keys i cant remember

I'm glad your taking this so well. My escapades often ended with suspensions. "Tampering with a Professors personal possessions".

i declared shenanigans.

Do a restore to a restore point.

[DerekGoodson]

Yup, Restore point would be the easiest... unless you want to do some learning with going into the control Pan. and start straitening everything out one by one. Hope you have a drink next to ya....LOL

at my school its the teachers who bully and play pranks on each other. one of the maths teachers changed spell check so that every time a latin teacher typed "the" it would change to n o b was great fun watching him just get angrier and angrier at the front of the class
