Alt-F4 No Longer Closes Windows

Hi everyone,

Until maybe 2 months ago I could close windows on my system with Alt-
F4, with one exception -- the command prompt. If my task bar was
empty, I could even bring up the Windows Security dialog and shutdown
my system from there. But now Alt-F4 has no effect.

I don't even remember exactly when the issue started. I think the
culprit was an MS update, but searching Microsoft's site turned up
nothing. Can anyone help resolve this issue? Thanks to anyone who does.
