Alex,
No, you haven't misunderstood anything.  It's not about another version of 
Windows.  Reread my message.  I said that the dialogue that comes up when you 
press U for Shut down on the Start Menu actually *does* tell you (with Jaws's 
help, of course) that you must press the alt key for these buttons.  It's 
simply that, if you try it without the Alt key, the controls work anyway.  See? 
 Just an oddity.  Not your memory.

Yardbird, Yeah I've just discovered that.  I have a feeling that you had to use 
the alt key in Windows NT, which I used to use at work.  I guess I just got 
into the habit of doing it.
Cheers.
Alex

Alex,

Oddly, although Windows says, and Jaws picks up and speaks, alt u, alt r, and 
so forth for the control buttons in that dialogue, you don't really have to 
press the Alt key.  At least not on my system, which is pretty standard.

Shouldn't that be, windows key followed by u followed by alt r?
Cheers.

Ever since I got windows XP the one thing I miss from windows 95 is the ease of 
rebooting with control, alt, delete.  Is there another simple way I can reboot, 
once jaws goes down, with windows XP?  Thanks
