If one person sends you Christmas Classics, you kill all participants?
It's the only way to be sure. The person responsible will be killed in a particularly horrible way, though.
Earlier in the evening, I popped a CD in the drive and held down the shift key to stop it from autorunning. A little dialog popped up to tell me that holding the shift key down for 8 seconds was the shortcut for turning on "Filter Keys" (ie the thing that means you can press Ctrl-whatever separately and it treats it as if you'd held the Ctrl key down while you pressed whatever).
I declined to turn on Filter Keys, and disabled the short cut.
From then on, all mouse actions acted as if you were holding down the Shift key, regardless - so it was impossible to select just one file in a directory, etc. Much checking revealed that Filter Keys, Sticky Keys, all those settings were set firmly to off.
Chrestomancy didn't have much of an explanation for what was up, but holding down the Shift key for a long time again made it go away. Despite the fact that that shortcut is disabled, and no dialog popped up to tell me whatever-it-was was going away again.
