MessageAlex,

I hope FS is able to solve this problem.  It's not always convenient to use 
narrator instead of JAWS.

  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.
          Alex

          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.
              Cheers.
