Tom,
Hoping I'm not being insulting, but again on the Dell laptop the Ctrl key
is
the very bottom left key, and the Alt key is immediately left of the shift
bar. If you're pressing the Alt and the next key in, you'll perhaps get
that
Icon, but not sure. I can't replicate what you're seeing on my Dell, with
any combinations, but Alt+Ctrl+N does nothing on my machine.
Here's how to look for the keystroke...
1. JAWS+F2 for a dialog
2. Down arrow for Keyboard Manager
3. If you're not pointing to default.kbm then arrow up/down to highlight
it.
4. Tab to get to the next pane with all the key combinations.
5. Alt+a for the action menu.
6. arrow to Find Keystroke.
7. At the hotkey prompt press Alt+Ctrl+n
8. Press Enter.
If that keystroke is active, it will come up with a description of what
it
does. Most likely it will come up with "Ctrl+Alt+N not found". It did on
my
machine.
This is not the solution, but one way to see if something's not right with
JAWS.
By the way if it did find that key combination, you can delete it by:
a. Alt+a for the Actions menu
b. Arrow down to "remove keystroke".
c. Answer okay to all the prompts
d. Alt+f for file and x to exit.
If all that fails to work, why not just assign a different hot key to
Notepad? I use Alt+Ctrl+T, for no particular reason.

How can I check the Jaws configuration and see if the problem is what you
suggest?
I don't have this problem on my main PC.

Tom,
How frustrating! After all that work, it's still not doing the right
thing.
All I can now suggest is that your JAWS configuration has a keystroke
Alt+Ctrl+N pointing to the My Computer ICON, and therefore overriding
the
notepad application.
Are you absolutely sure you're pressing the Alt and Control keys on the
laptop? For the Dell Latitude, The Alt key to the immediate left of the
space bar, and the Ctrl key on the very bottom left corner should work
with
the "N" key.

Subject: still having strange problem with notepad shortcut on Dell
Lattitude 610 laptop, even after hot key detective has been successfully
installed
Hello, everyone.
I know I keep promising that I am asking my last question regarding the
use
of hot key detective, but my original strange problem with my Dell
Lattitude
Laptop, which started this whole discussion, has not gone away.
To review:
I now have hot key detective successfully installed on my laptop, and I
can
easily access it via a desk top icon, thanks to the installation
instructions provided by a number of list members.
However, when I do the alt control N shortcut for notepad, I am taken
directly to the "my computer" icon on the desk top.
Interestingly, when I have hot key detective list the shortcuts on the
hard
drive of my laptop, it lists alt control N as a short cut for notepad.
Very strange!
Any suggested fixes?
Tom Behler
