Yes. Quite right. In my Win2000, ALT-ESC switches applications.
But CTRL-ESC brings up the Start Menu!

I know one (or both) of these works in Win98 to bring up the
Start Menu because, not having a Windows key, I used to use this
shortcut all the time.

I never customized any hot keys. But thanks for pointing
out my mistake. (I'll check out ALT-ESC in Win98 sometime
if I ever reboot to it. I use Win2000 99.99% now.)
