Keyboard switched to Dvorak accidentally!

Guest

I was working on my resume a few nights ago. I was working on wordpad. All
of a sudden, all the letters I typed were coming out wrong. I double-checked
my hands positions on the keyboard. I really needed to finish that resume,
so I typed out all the letters and used that as a guide while keyboarding.
It took me several hours to type one page this way.

Just tonight, while searching google for an answer, I ran across a site
which advocates the "Dvorak" keyboard. I realized, that's what happened to
my keyboard. I must have accidently hit a strange combination of keys at
some point and now that keyboard has Dvorak.

Does anyone know a combination of keys that will give me back my original
keyboard with the letters in the normal position? I think it's called the
"qwerty" keyboard. I've never seen this problem before.
