Under XP, I find control-shift-escape takes you to "processes list view," the same result you get with control-alt-delete. To get to the start menu in XP, the most direct ways are by pressing the Windows key, by itself, and control-escape, without the shift key.
----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris Hallsworth" <christopherhallsworth71@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>Hi, I get this as well using JAWS 9 under Vista Home Premium. If you want to get to the Task Manager though, just press control shift escape. Not sure if it works under XP, but I'm sure it does. Hope that helps. Why not join my Blind Hobbyist group?

If I press a letter (e.g. T for Task Manager), Jaws will read information from the Task Manager fine.
I using Windows XP Service Pack 3 with all updates installed. My screen resolution is 1024*768 pixels, and my color quality is 32 bit. Thanks in advance for any reply, and have a nice day.Regards, Anders
