No Judi told me that she does have a jaws 7.0 icon on her desktop.  As she 
said in her message, I put a shortcut into the desk top (icon).
But it's not working.  I believe that she may have that shortcut assigned to 
something else or another version of Jaws.
I would get hot key detective from the programs page at JFWLite and run it. 
it will show you all the shortcut keys you have assigned on your system.  It 
only reliably works with windows 98 though, but I think that is the machine 
Judi is talking about as she is still in the process of upgrading to XP.

right. I gave her other ways of loading JAWS, but should have mentioned 
another way of finding the shortcut.

  Patricia, inthis case, she cannot find Jaws 7.0 in her Desktop.

    I would suggest going to the desktop icon, or whichever shortcut you 
used to attach the keystroke (which is also located in program files) do an 
alt-enter on the shortcut, and delete the key that is assigned, or try 
assigning another one for the time being and then quit JAWS and see if that 
works. it's happened to me once or twice and tha'ts solved my problem. or, 
if worse comes to worse, which isn't even all that bad, you could do a 
repair on JAWS. in the cases that I've done a repair I haven't lost any of 
my previously defined settings, and the problem had usually be fixed. what 
it should do in theory is take away the shortcut key and allow you to do it 
over again. also, if this doesn't work, maybe make it so that JAWS is the 
only J icon on your desktop, so all you would have to do is windows key m, 
and then j, and then enter. or if JAWS is the only j in your programs menu 
you could do start menu, j for jaws 7.0, j for the actual application, and 
then enter. there are many ways of loading JAWS besides using a shorcut key, 
but I hope the shortcut key does work for you.

    these are my meager suggestions.

      Rodin, My version is Jaws 7.  Yesterday I put a shortcut into the desk 
top but the problem is it doesn't work.  Oftentimes, when I boot up or my 
husband dumps jaws so he can work on the machine, this shortcut which I 
assigned as control shift  j, doesn't work when I hit it.  Any suggestions 
as to how I can get jaws back with this shortcut?  Thanks, Judith

        Judith@, I've saw your posted very long time.  May I know what 
version of Jaws you want to create a short cut key?  May I know also if the 
version of Jaws you are trying to create a short cut is in your desktop?

        Regards,

        Roden

          I quickly went into the programs file and according to that I only 
have jaws 7.0 running on the computer.  Judith

            Hi Judith,
            You could do that, then go into your control panel and make sure 
you only have one version of jaws.  Dave

              I have two jaws icons on my desk top.  One is simply "jaws" 
and the other is jaws 7.0.  Since both icons have the shortcut or hotkey 
combination of control/alt/j should I delete the one that is simply "jaws"? 
Thanks, Judith
