Kathye,

I suspect that you have the Control Panel in the list of items below the Start 
Button.

Press the Windows key to open the start list and arrow down, and I think you'll 
discover that. Keep arrowing down and you should also find a Search with the 
access key being the letter "C". Only way I can see to mitigate is to not have 
the Control panel there. I think you can do this in the Start menu custom 
configurations.

To get there start from your desktop.
tab until you hear task bar. 
Alt+Enter to bring up task bar properties.
Ctrl+Tab to go to the start Menu properties dialog
tab to get to customize, and wander around to see what mischief you can get 
into.

I'm not absolutely certain that this is where you can move the Control Panel 
away, but worth a look, in any case.

It's all very JAWS-accessible, by the way.

Dave

  I am running XP.  When I hit the Windows key and then press c I get the 
Control Panel.  If I hold down the Winsows key and press c JAWS says "not in a 
text box".  What am I doing wrong?  Kathye

      I assume you meant Windows-f, the windows find utility which is 
dreadfully "SLOW".  I'm looking for something that will index the files and 
locate a file quickly, similar to the Vista search feature.  Thanks anyway, 
Kathye

        Hit Windows key C, enter on "files and folders," arrow down to "all 
files and folders button," type what you have and hit enter. Tab to the window 
and see what has appeared.

          Can anyone reccomend an accessable  utility that can be used to 
"quickly" find a file given a partial file name.  I am using XP and JAWS7.  
Thanks, Kathye
