Windows logo key+E "closes" Powerpoint2007

I have recently upgraded to Office 2007 on an WindowsXP machine. When I try
to use Windows logo key+E to bring up MyComputer, it also "closes" any open
Powerpoint2007 sessions. When it "closes" PowerPoint2007, it doesn't save
the open files. Windows Task Manager indicates that POWERPNT.EXE is still
running, but I cannot interact with in. I cannot start a new instance of
PowerPoint until I uese Task Manager to end the POWERPNT.EXE process, or
until I reboot.

Any idea on how I can get Windows logo key+E to behave "normally" again?

The Windows keyboard shortcuts overview in WindowsXP Help gives shortcuts
(under the Natural Keyboard shortcuts) which use the Windows logo key. Many
of them are quite useful:

Windows+M minimizes all windows,
Windows+Break displays the System Properties dialog box,
Windows+R opens the Run dialog box,
Windows+L locks the computer,
and, the one I use most often,
Windows+E opens My Computer.

Unfortunately, this no longer works for me, with Powerpoint2007 and WindowsXP.
