that is strange. Your best bet is to do a control escape, then press escape again, this will get you to the start button then you wil have to tab to the desktop. I would suggest getting an external keyboard whether its USB or wireless. ----- Original Message ----- From: Omar Binno To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, February 04, 2010 10:08 AM Subject: windows key on laptop Hello, I just picked up an older laptop and I'm using Jaws 10. The laptop doesn't have a windows key, so I'm wondering how I would minimize things to get to the desktop, (normally, Windows key plus letter m) Thanks.
