hi,
Using XP home and JFW 5.0, I use the 'Control escape escape' and Tab
sequence to access the system tray contents. having used the control escape
escape sequence, presses of the tab key cycle me through the task bar, the
start menu,the system tray and then the desktop. When in the system tray, I
use the cursor keys to locate/highlight the program I want, then use the
Application key to open what is usually an options menu. The application
key is immediately to the left of the right hand side Control key.
