OH!!! I get it now! He doesn't mean press and hold down the windows key
and press the letter A.
I think Jerry means press the windows key for the start menu.
Then if you have "favorites" set to show up on the start menu, then you can
just press the letter A for favorites then it will show your list of
favorites.
Back to the original question, no jaws 7.1 doesn't use control alt F at
least as far as I could find.
How did you try to create a hotkey to your favorites? Where and how did you
go to create a shortcut to assign a hotkey to?

Jerry,
I was surprised to hear this description of a Window key way to put up the
Favorites list. It sounded to me as though you could be in any application,
or just on the Desktop, execute this keystroke and be given your Favorites
list and, I imagined, have your browser launch as soon as you pressed enter
on one of the Favorites shortcuts. Sounded handy.
But I pressed Windows A from within Outlook Express, and just got a clunky
little Windows sound of non-response. So I'm wondering, might you mean just
when you're already in your browser, and then not *Window* A but Alt A,
which does indeed put up the Favorites tree view, whereupon you navigate it
with your arrow keys, or press initial letters to find things, and so forth,
same as in Windows Explorer and such.
Did I misunderstand? While I could live without this additional
convenience, saving me having to launch Internet Explorer first and then
pull down the Favorites list, I'm still curious, nonetheless.
thanks.

I don't know if this works for Win Media Center, but a handy combo to
open the favorites menu is Windows key then A. You can either hit the
first letter of the favorite or arrow down to it or its folder.

I don't know if this is a Jaws thing or something else in my computer.
I
had a shortcut hotkey setup to open my favorites folder in Windows. I
used
ctrl+alt+f. This was working fine till a couple days ago. Now if
Internet
Explorer is running but does not have focus, this combination brings
focus
to IE instead of opening the folder.
I just changed the shortcut to use a different combination but even
after
rebooting ctrl+alt+f still brings focus to IE if it is running.
I used Hotkey detective for XP but it didn't find any other shortcut
using
ctrl+alt+f. There is no Internet Explorer shortcut with a hot key.
I was wondering if Jaws beta is using ctrl+alt+f. If not, what else
could
do this?
