MessageAlex: You may have tried this: Go into programs, arrow down to Jaws7.1 sub menu and hit enter, arrow down to jaws.exe and hit the applications key (one key right of the left control) and enter on properties. This will put you on the short cut key, tab through and see if the control+alt+J is assigned there. When these short cut keys are assigned like that they do not show up in the short cut key detective. HTH, George R.

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.

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.

Darn. Will give it more thought.
