Hi Hamid; Below is the email from the person that explains the Jaws kill keystroke and how to do it. I personally don't have this, so I don't know for a fact how it will work. I have an icon on my desktop called "Kill JAWS" and it's the only icon beginning with the letter "K". This is a simple taskkill command to surgically remove JAWS with no prompts. Once removed I then launch JAWS again with Alt+Ctrl+J. Saved me a lot of grief. The command for my machine is: %windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im jfw.exe Dave From: Janitha RukmalFrom Victorious Hi Christine & all, Here's a cool method 2 creat that shortcut to kill JAWS. This works with Windows XP pretty well. Have your focus on the desktop first. Then press the application key to open the context menue that you get when you rightclick on the desktop. optionally use the right mouse button, assigned to the *key of your computer's keyboard to get here. find the "new" menue item by uparrowing two times. Anyhow, once you are there, find new shortcut list item. press enter & in the edit field you get in the wizard that follows enter the following %windir%\system32\taskkill.exe /f /im jfw.exe Hope this works fine with Vista too. Anyway I hate Vista & don't expect my assistance in Vista related issues. XP do well enough for me untill I start working with my Brandnew copy of Windows 7 that is in times to come. Janitha RukmalFrom Victorious Sri Lanka Hope this has helped. Take care.
