Hi Norman. On this subject, I know Window-eyes and Kurzweil 1000 set themselves up to do this but you may not want this to happen. I think there are 2 possible approaches that FS could implement here. A short cut could be set up as standard unless Custom Install is selected when installing. In this case, the user could be given a choice at installation. Alternatively, the chance to set u up a short cut could be offered in the Startup Wizard which runs anyway after JAWS has installed.

It also occurs to me that if there is any version of JAWS with an icon on the desktop, you can do: Winkey+D to ensure you are on the desktop, J (which, if you're lucky, will get you to a version of JAWS), and enter. Then, from the desktop again, you can find the version of JAWS you want, press alt+enter for shortcut properties, and set up a hotkey for JAWS for the future. I don't know why JAWS doesn't automatically set itself up with a hotkey, like Window-Eyes.
