HI Ray. I just went through the process and found the following. After
establishing Alt-Control J as the hotkey I tabbed to the Apply Button and
pressed the Space Bar, then I tabbed back to the control where one would see
what has been established as the hotkey and found that the word None
populated the field. I then typed the letter J again, and this time tabbed
to the OK Button and pressed the Enter Key. It worked that time.
I too have found the establishment of Hotkeys to be less than perfect
lately. It seems that some of the Windows Updates eliminate them, so I've
become used to using the Desktop for launching JAWS. This simply means
having to ensure that it is the only item on the Desktop starting with the
letter J.
Thx, Albert

Subject: [VICUG-L] Problems Re-creating JAWS Shortcut Key
Hello:
I'm helping someone to re-create a JAWS shortcut key without success so far.
Here is what we have done.
I had her go to the desktop, locate the icon for JAWS 9.0, press the
applications key, arrow up to properties and press enter, tab twice and put
'j' as the shortcut key. When I then had her tab and shift tab, JAWS says
"Short Cut Key alt+control+" not saying J.
We figured, oh maybe it just doesn't say it. So I had her hit the OK
button, unload JAWS and try using the shortcut key to re-launch JAWS.
This did not work.
Then, we deleted the icon that said "jaws 9.0" from the desktop, went into
the JAWS 9.0 sub menu off the start-> programs menu, locate the icon there
which says "JAWS" and sent it to the desktop which creates a shortcut.
Then, we went back to the desktop, located the JAWS icon, went to
properties, and tried again to create the shortcut key. We got the same
behavior, where after creating the shortcut JAWS says "alt+control+" and
doesn't say J.
The computer is running Windows XP. This lady had a JAWS shortcut key
before, but it got deleted somehow. So, I'm seeking answers as to what we
can do. I've looked through the Microsoft Knowledge base and we are doing
as it specifies, trying to attach the shortcut key to a desktop or start
menu item.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
