I also wanted to add that I am using the quick connect instead of the side screws if that matters.

1. I assume these are real shocks as opposed to static electricity shocks that are common at this time of year?
2. If so, it sounds like you've got a loose connection somewhere that's compromising your circuits. It may have resulted from your disturbing some not-well-spliced connections, from removing too much insulation so that wires are touching, etc. Since you're not experienced with this, you might want to call an electrician pronto to identify where it is and get it fixed. A live box can be fatal to you or your child if you touch it and there is a pathway to ground. If you want to fix it yourself, you could start with a $5 circuit tester that has several lights and diagnoses each receptacle when you plug it in. Whatever you do, get it fixed immediately, and, if you can't, throw the breaker that controls the shock-producing receptacles until you can get it fixed.
3. The fin is not a solution to anything except having two separate circuits on one receptacle.
4. Using the quick connects is technically legal, but bad practice. These almost invariably produce poorer connections, generate more heat, and have been implicated in fires.

Thanks for the response. I was going to call an electrician asap, but was hoping it would be an easy solution. I do have a $5 circuit tester and the connections appear to be correct. Also, I neglected to state that the shocks are coming from the rocker light switches after replacing the receptacle. And is can you tell me the difference between replacing a receptacle that has just one white and one black vs two blacks and two whites? Thanks

These symptoms could be caused by a ground fault somewhere on a circuit AND a broken (or disconnected) equipment grounding conductor somewhere between the fault and the panel. The equipment grounding conductor is energized on the device side of the broken EGC. Careless or unknowing work on the system could have such results. Finding the location of the problem could take a while.

jimmy-
Usually, if you have two whites and two blacks, it's because the receptacle is in the middle of the circuit run and one pair is incoming power and the other pair passes the power on to the next receptacle. You don't have to know which pair is which: the whites both go to the white side of the receptacle and the blacks go to the black side (and there is a ground wire you attach to the receptacle's grounding screw and then pigtail to the grounds from the two cables). There is also the possibility that both sets are incoming power to a split receptacle, so when you are replacing these you need to match what you had before. If the tabs that connect the upper and lower are broken off, then its a two circuit receptacle. This is generally done so that one of the plugins is always on, and the other one has been run through a switch so you can control a lamp from the switched plugin. Is that clear?

Jimmy...one other thing. It's good you're asking these questions, rather than guessing, but it's also pretty clear that your knowledge of electrical wiring is so limited that you could unknowingly create a dangerous situation. Do yourself a favor and get a good book like "Wiring Simplified" by Richter (at almost any home center) or, my favorite, "Wiring a House" by Cauldwell. It will increase your ability to tackle wiring safely and understand what you're doing and why.
