windows/keyboard bug

Periodically, I hit some secret keyboard shortcut that causes windows to enter a super-duper shortcut mode where pressing e opens explorer, and nearly everything else does too. It's a bit like Windows-key lock mode. The only way to fix it is to restart the computer, once i got the combination and it got back.

What is this mode, how did I get into it, and how do I get out of it?

Are you sure it isn't just your keyboard malfunctioning and thinking the Windows key is pressed down at all times?

Windows + E opens Exporer, but so does Windows+some number (the number being the position explorer is in on your taskbar)
