More Information

Everytime I press delete, whether in a game, using Microsoft Word, or whatever, the Search bar comes up.
I'm referring to the Search bar when you search for a certain file or folder (built into Windows).
My dad's friend used my computer for a little bit and I'm pretty sure he changed the settings but I don't know how he did it and I don't know how to reach him.
Any help would be very appreciated!

search bar or the windows search window within explorer
is it the same thing as pressing F3 on keyboard (which should launch search) but only on your desktop
 
i think he might be using some third party utility to create a hotkey or something...either that or spyware
 
see if it happens in safe mode

Yeah, it's the same thing as pressing F3 on my desktop. But if I press delete ANYWHERE, games, apps, internet, whatever, the search bar comes up.
It's so annoying !
