Its kinda hard to help you when we don't know exactly what you have done.

Ive clicked some combination of ctrl blah blah or something on the keyboard some how and now all my keys on the keyboard are shortcutting the programes on my desktop. Ive done this before a few months ago but cant remember the command to turn what ever ive turned on.

Maybe you've turned sticky keys on try pressing ctrl and alt together to see if it quits it

I had this same thing last night in game with a voice telling me what programmes it was scrolling through

For me it was definately sticky keys as I was holding down the shift keys, I turned off all sticky key applications and it went away.

I dont know how to access the sticky key application but if you hold down right shift for more than 8 seconds while in game you should hear a beep, alt tab out and you should get a diag box, just disable all the applications and you should be good to go
