One of my player 1 buttons is shift...mame default, and if I press it a few times in a row windows will minimize mame and take me back to the desktop, then it says some crap about a shift key function, like if you press it so many times in a row it activates it....how do I get this thing to go away? >:( ??? :-\

Control Panel -> Accessibililty Options -> Keyboard tab... make sure the "Use StickyKeys" box is NOT checked.

That should take care of it.

You can turn them all off.

Hit the shift key five times.  When the box pops up, hit the rightmost box to bring up choices to turn it off.  I think it does the same thing as mentioned above.
