OS 10.5 - Right Command Key Mapping Issue

My right command key on my mbp is mapped to be a shortcut to "show desktop"

I don't know how I mapped it this way but I don't want it this way anymore.

I've checked both keyboard shortcuts (reset to default) and Expose preferences and the key does not appear to be mapped to anything. Yet it functions as both a shortcut to show desktop and a command key, show desktop taking preference.

What do I do? HELP! lol

Have you tried this? System Preferences, Keyboard and Mouse, Keyboard, Modifier Keys, Reset to Defaults.

Regards.
