While Using Remote Desktop, Pressing L Logs Me Out

Every now and then, when I am working remotely via Remote Desktop, the keyboard starts acting weird.  When I press L, it logs me out of the computer, and when I press E, it brings up "My Computer".  Basically, it acts as if the Windows Key is stuck.

Well, after searching around a bit, I found that this is a known bug in XP, and it is caused by using Windows + L to lock my workstation while using remote desktop.

The fix: Strike the Windows key a couple of times,  if you have somehow encountered this error on a machine that doesn't have a Windows key, [pressing] Ctrl [6 to 12 times] should work as well.
