how do i turn off keyboard shortcuts?

[fonzbear2000]

my sister has a computer with windows 98 and she somehow, accidentally turned on some keyboard shortcuts-for example, if she hits "y" on the keyboard, yahoo comes up-she doesn't like it-how does she turn it off?

Could you please answer this same question as it pertains to Windows XP Home edition? I am a sloppy typist, and I never use keyboard shortcuts, and never will. I'd like to disable shortcuts completely. Thank you.
