Weird Desktop behaviour?

Does any one have an idea of why my system sometimes thinks that i have my shift/alt/ctrl 
keys held down on my keyboard when im moving icons around on my desktop? An example 
of this might be, I move a file on my desktop and it creates short cuts to the file 
I'm moving instead of moving it. Or when i double click a file it opens the file 
properties instead. Also another weird thing it's doing is I can't seem to type the 
letter 'v' on my desktop (like when renaming files) sometimes it does it with 's' 
as well. I have to tap on my shift/alt/ctrl keys a few times before my system goes 
back to normal. Another thing my system does is when I'm trying to drag n drop a 
file from one folder to another, when i get to the edge of the folder the file sort 
of hangs at the edge of the folder no matter how far I move my mouse. I usually have 
to let go and do it again before I can get the file to go out side the window edge. 
Strange. Any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated! 

Oh and yes, I have checked my system for viruses/spyware, etc and the like with several 
different programs.  My system is clean =/, good mouse batteries too, keyboard is 
wired type.
