    It sounds like your kids have added key shortcuts for programs.

    Find the Media Player shortcut icon.

    Right click on it and select Properties.

    Click on the Shortcut tab.

    If there is something in the "Shortcut key" box then click in the box and press the backspace key to delete the shortcu

    Click OK.

    Do the same for the Browser shortcut icon.

    If the shortcut keys are not defined under those icons, then I'm afraid you are just going to have to go hunting until you find the icon properties they changed. Or of course you could ask them...

    As u must be knowing vista is a damp rubbish kinda os, it had happened to me also that it often crashes and did stupid things. I suggest upgrade to windows 7 or go for the classic windows xp.
