You can use this free utility to turn off the Windows key.

SharpKeys 2.1.1
http://www.randyrants.com/2006/07/sharpkeys_211.html

Note: You need Microsoft's .NET Framework 2.0 installed on your computer to run
this program.

Good luck

Any idea of what would have turned it on?

Is this a trick question? The OP suggests that the Windows key is stuck.

I'm guessing the OP has already tried to repair the keyboard and would rather
not purchase a replacement. The free program I suggested can disable the Windows
key. Hopefully, that would prevent the results that the OP is getting when
hitting certain keys.

No not at all. I meant no trick question. I'm not familiar with the program
you suggested and erroneously thought it would also 'set' the Windows key as
well as others.

One can edit the registry to disable the Windows key. Here is the link on
how to accomplish it: http://support.microsoft.com/?id=216893
