R Shift key now triggers exposé. Need help!

Whenever I press the R shift key, regardless of the application, exposé is always triggered. Specifically, it activates exposé for the current application in use. I did not modify any of the keyboard or exposé settings in system preferences. I created a new account to see if it was preference related, and the keyboard functioned normally in the test account. The problem is that I have no idea how or what preference was changed. I thought about trying to restore a preference folder with time machine, but I have no idea which file or folder contains the relevant preferences. I have scoured the internet for answers and have so far come up empty. Any help would be much appreciated.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.1)

Go to System Preferences/Keyboard/Keyboard Shortcuts/Expose´ & Spaces - confirm your desired configuration there for starters.

Thanks a lot, problem solved. No idea how the problem occurred.... I went into system preferences and the application exposé was set to the default F10. Just to see what would happen, I disabled this option and was directed to 'keyboard shortcuts', which simply indicated that the particular shortcut had been unchecked.

Sure enough, my R shift was functioning normally again. I went back and enabled the application exposé shortcut and everything is working just fine.
