You know in Windows XP, when you press any of the reading signs like ", ', ^ etc, it will stick to the next letter you type if its an e, i, o etc.
I kinda hate this behavior, since its irritating when you write code and stuff or if you play games it will "eat" these characters. So, does anyone know how to turn of this behavior since I looked trough the entire Control Panel but couldnt find anything about it. :[ |

You mean that:
^ + e = ê ¨ + i = ï or...? That's just because people that are actually writing and using these letters needs it, and normally, people don't use them for anything else... ^^ are maybe used as smilies though... ^_^ |

to make charecters such as ê you must hold alt and hit a series of numbers on your number pad. for instance to make á you must hit alt+0225
and make sure that the numbers you press are on your number pad because the other ones will not work |

Something had happened with netscape. I would type and when I typed, for some reason the cursor thingy would make it go back so I would type what I wanted. The letters would be in a different order. I couldn't type anything like that. And it wasn't me.

And it wasn't me. Yes it happens on urls too, if you type an adress is sometimes pastes the sign, or adds it to a letter if you have a site starting with e,a etc Anyone know how to put this off?

those are used very rarely, even in programming, what code are you writing? and different editors behave differently so you may want to try other editors rather than trying to find a solution from windows.
