The Quick Launch bar has no relevance for JAWS users, and in fact, JAWS does
not even provide a command to access it. The Quick Launch bar was really
designed for sighted mouse users to enable them to more easily launch their
most frequently used programs without having to perform a lot of navigation.
JAWS users can accomplish the same thing by assigning shortcut keys to launch
their most frequently used programs. So just find out which applications your
company has placed in the Quick Launch bar, and create shortcut keys to launch
them. Just locate the desktop icons for these applications, press Alt-Enter to
access the Properties dialog, tab to the Shortcut key box, and assign a
shortcut key combination that's easy to remember, something like
Alt-Control-letter or number. Then create a little memo to yourself listing all
the shortcut keys you have created in case you forget them.

hi: correction:
I make a lot of use out of the insert f11 and insert f10 keys. However,
hasanyone come across a quick key to get to the quick launch task bar. I
know from the
desktop one can switch from desktop to task bar, start menu and the quick
launch bar with the tab
key, however, I want to jump immedately from what ever application I'm in
tothe quick launch bar. the reason is my company has implemented quick start
button
for applications on the quick launch bar. and I want to get to them quickly.
I tried out the suggestion of windows key plus the tqab key this takes one
over to the task bar, but i want to get to the quick launch bar. sorry wasn't
clear earlier.
I've tried setting short cut keys for the items on the quick launch bar but
they don't seem to work correctly i mean at all.
All suggestions are greatly appreciated.
thanks
