A couple of steps not mentioned in this thread:

1. when creating a hotkey, make sure you tab to "apply" and press enter, then 
tab to OK and press enter.

2. Reboot.

Several people in the past have questioned the need to reboot, but in my 
experience it seems to make the difference.

  Hi Dave,

  The hot key is showing correctly but, just not working andJaws 10.x is the 
only version of Jaws on her computer.  Thanks much.  Take care.

    Check carefully after assigning the hotkey to make sure it's really there 
before saving the shortcut. Sometimes it is replaced with the Tab character 
when you Tab away from the field.

    Also make sure you don't have another version of JAWS on the desktop with 
the same hot key assigned.

      Hi All,

      We created a hot key for Jaws 10.x through the properties shortcut page 
on a friends computer.  When she unloads Jaws with the Insert + F4 key stroke, 
then tries to restart with control, alt, + J keystroke nothing happens.  She 
then has to reboot the computer to get Jaws running again.  What are we doing 
wrong.  She is running XP Pro & Jaws 10.x.  All advice will be greatly 
appreciated.  Thanks much.  Take care.

      Mike
