Hello, Gary, Thank you for enumerating the steps on adding a hotkey on WinKey. I also have that program installed on my computer. But instead of pressing Alt F to search for files and Alt D to look for folders, I use another application called "copy path", which copies the whole path of whatever the file/folder that I want to make shortcut to on the clipboard. All I have to do is paste the duplicated path's name, for example: C:\Documents and Settings\HM Aldeza\My Documents\My audio files on the command edit field and press the okay button. The instructions that you've given would be a big help if someone doesn't know where to find the file that he wants to have added on the list of shortcuts, which sometimes seems to be my case. I've learned something new. Thank you so much!

Hi, No, no big deal installing it. I have included instructions below for creating hot keys and what to avoid. The following is a list of standard windows key shorcuts That you shouldn't use when creating a new shortcut. Any of the other shortcuts that you see when you open WinKey can be removed and the key combination used for another file or folder. Standard Windows key shortcuts are: Windows Key + D: Show Desktop Windows Key + E: Windows Explorer Windows Key + F: Find Files or Folders... Windows Key + M: Minimize All Windows Windows Key + Shift+M: Undo Minimize All Windows Key + R: Run... Windows Key + Tab: Select Task Windows Key + Break: System Properties Windows Key + F1: Windows Help To remove any of the other shortcuts already included in WinKey simply highlight it, tab to the remove button and press the space bar. You will be asked to confirm the removal. Creating a new WinKey hot key: 1. After opening WinKey tab to and press space on the add button. You will hear shortcut properties. 2. Tab once and you will hear shortcut. Enter the combination you want by pressing the windows key + one other key. Example: windows key + f2 3. Tab once again and you will hear parameters. You don't need to enter anything here if you simply use these find commands: alt F, browse for files alt D, browse for folders 4. After using alt F you will hear file name. Tab once and you will hear files of type. If you are browsing for a file curser down to "all files". After using alt D to browse for a folder you will be placed in a tree view of your folders and can skip step 5. 5. Now tab until you get to the look in combo box and locate either the file or folder you're making the shortcut for. 6. Once the file or folder is located tab to the open button and hit the space bar. From here you can tab through these items, make any changes you want, and then hit space on the OK button. You're new windows key hot key should be created. To view the properties of any combination simply highlight it, tab to and hit space on the properties button.

Hello all, is there anyone who uses the winkey program with jaws? Did it download ok and was it any big deal to set it up or does this happen on its own. I need another way of setting up macros and this sounds great but need to know just a bit more. Thanks and will wait for your feed back! MMM Michael Thanks You... TickTalk Publishing Invites You...
