To me, that's not the point. I know many ways to start JAWS. For instance,
JAWS 8.0 is the only thing beginning with J on my Desktop. When the hot key
doesn't work, I can do Windows Key+M to land on the Desktop, hit J, and then
hit Enter to start JAWS.
The point is that I've always been able to assign Control+Alt+J to my JAWS
shortcut, and I can't this time. That makes no sense.

What about just typing windows key r for run and then jaws8? I love to
bring up the various versions of JAWS up like this...
