MessageHi,
I am just glad you were able to get the job done.

I do have one puzzling thought. For those who didn't have this problem could 
this be the reason. Did you first remove the old shortcut key first before 
installing jaws 8?

Like I stated it is just a thought.

Rich

  Rick, Don't worry about it, I'd have been saying exactly the same things 
as you were if it wasn't me having the problem.
  Cheers.

    Well my apologies then, it must be something to do with the way JAWS is 
handleing the keyboard now.  Very puzzleing but if narater worked then it's 
definately a JAWS issue.

      Rick, You are indeed quite correct, doing it with narrator worked a 
treat, and I now have the shortcut key I wanted all along ctrl+shift+j.
      I'll send freedom Scientific a message about it.
      Cheers.

      Alex,

      Try unloading JAWS 8 with Insert + F4 and using narrator with Windows 
key + U  and see if you can change the properties successfully.  If you can 
then JAWS has something to do with it.  IF not then its something else.

        Alex have you tried another ShortCut Key?

          Rick, Have you been following this thread.  I'm sick and tired of 
the number of times I've had to explain that I've checked all the desktop 
icons to make sure nothing has the keystroke assigned to it.  I've also used 
shortcut detective from the jfwlite website to determine that there is no 
shortcut on my system that has the ctrl+shift+j keystroke assigned to it.
          Cheers.

          I disagree,  JAWS has absolutely nothing to do with properties on 
a desktop icon.  That is either a MS issue or someone hasn't cleared the 
contro+Alt+j shortcut from another icon on the desktop.

          We can't blame every single issue to JAWS.

          Rick

            Rich, I'm coming to the conclusion as others already have that 
it must be a jaws problem.
            Cheers.

            Hi Alex,
            Gave it a shot and came up short. Darn. Will give it more 
thought.

              Richard, Unfortunately I find that that doesn't work either.
