Windows Media Center Keeps Opening

Well, you could...
But, considering your skill level, I would bet that you haven't disabled Windows File Protection, so any "system files" you delete will be immediately and silently restored from the huge backup located in C:\Windows\System32\DLLcache

(and disabling WFP requires booting a different OS so you can modify SFC_OS.DLL without Windows loading and locking it. Alternatively, there may be a boot time program that can replace the file during Windows booting, similar to how partition editing programs can execute during the middle of booting.)

My skill level is actually very high, I just never had this problem, I have known everything about Windows for 5 years.

try another keyboard.

It's a laptop.

might just be a stuck key.
if an external usb keyboard disables the one on the laptop it is worth a try.

It has a new keyboard installed.

Oh, I didn't mean that as an insult, sorry. I disable WFP on all my installations, so you could too, then you'd be free to delete Media Center. Or just stop its' service, as described in that article I linked.

I know you did not mean an insult, but thanks for the tip!
