MessageAlex, 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.

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.
