Hi,

A funny thing happened this morning on a XP Pro laptop.
When I press the Delete key, it is automatically switch to the Lock
window as if I press Ctrl+Alt+Del

This happens all the time, even when I am just in the desktop without
any software loaded.
I suspect a sticky key issue but can you help me to unlock this !!

Thanks for your help

Since laptop keys do dual-purpose by using the FN key, I suspect that
you've toggled this. Refer to your laptop manual or the mftr.'s website
for use of the special FN+key function.

Also check to see if you have any special keyboard shortcuts software
running.

If neither of those possibilities are applicable to you, then yes you
might have a failing keyboard.

Other possibility is that the Ctrl / Alt keys are stuck. It was mentioned
that this is a laptop, so something could have "spilled" into the keyboard.
