Hi Mujtaba, Cliff and et al,
As you may have seen with my e-mail to Ismail he suggested I
try Ctrl+Shift+J as a short cut key combo and it worked.
Many thanks to you all for your time and efforts to solve
this problem.
Regards
Jim Williams

Hello Jim,
When you say delete the shortcut key for JAWS 9, do you just
remove the text from the edit box which says shortcutkey and
hit OK on the properties dialog box? If yes, you are missing
a step here. After you remove the text from the edit box,
tab in the properties dialog box and hit enter on the apply
button first. Then tab around to get back to the edit box
that says shortcutkey to confirm that it is blank. If yes,
now tab to the OK button and hit enter to close the
properties dialog box.
Then repeat the below steps to assign the new shortcutkey
for JAWS 13. Control,alt,J is the best key to assign for it
in the same order.
Hit the start menu and then go to programs then scroll down
to the JAWS 13 program group sub menu, scroll down to where
it says JAWS and hit your application key on it. From the
options there hit enter on create shortcut send to desktop.
Escape out of the menus and then go to the desktop and hit
the J key till you hear JAWS. On this desktop icon hit the
alt and enter key. This should open up a properties dialog
box at the General page. Tab on this page till you hear
Shortcut key and in the edit box of the same hit the keys
you want as hotkeys to launch JAWS. After which tab to the
apply button and hit enter. Then tab around and hit enter on
the OK button, this should close the properties dialog box.
Insert F4 to quit JAWS and try hitting the hot keys you
specified to test if they work in launching JAWS.

Hi,
Yes I can delete the short cut key for JAWS 9 which was
Ctrl+Alt+J but cannot define a short cut key for JAWS 13.
When I try to define a short cut I am taken back to the JAWS
icon.
If I then press Alt+Tab the Properties sheet is still open
with the edit field for the short cut key empty.
Jim

Hello Jim,
Shortcut or in this case the hotkey is not saved in a JAWS
menu. They are windows functions that you define and
customise. I see 2 problems that you are facing from your
mail below, correct me if wrong in the understanding.
1. Unable to delete the shortcut for JAWS 9.
2. Unable to designate a hotkey to launch JAWS 13.
Await your reply, to further assist you with a solution.

Hi Mujtaba,
Whatever key combination of keys I enter in the edit box I
get dumped back at the JAWS icon without having a chance to
press the Apply or OK buttons.
First of all, I deleted the short cut key combo I had for
starting JAWS 9 (Alt+Ctrl+J) with the intention of using
that for JAWS 13 but that wasn't accepted. As I mentioned I
tried several other combinations but without success.
Can you remind me where the list of short cuts keys in use
is kept within the JAWS menu system please.
Jim

To disable JAWS from launching at startup go to the
general/basics options for JAWS and uncheck the option that
says launch JAWS at startup. NOTE: You will have no support
from JAWS on your windows log on screen if you do this.

Hi Folks,
Using JAWS 13, XP Home and Office 2003
Can someone remind me of the key sequence for setting a hot
key for JAWS 13, rather than have JAWS start automatically.
