Barry Thanks for that. However, where does my focus have to be when I hit the aps key. I tried doing it from the desktop with nothing focussed but looking down the context menu there did not seem to be anything appropriate. I also hit the letter A after having activated the aps key and that didn't do anything.

Simply hit apps key, then the letter A. Say yes to the UAC prompt, or provide the password. Regards, Barry.
