There should be right and left click buttons right there in the dialog, thus 
illiminating the need for you to use the JAWS cursor.

  Hey again,

  I don't think I am explaining myself properly. I know how to get to the 
system tray and have no problem with that. For whatever reason I can't hover 
over the icons there in the system tray with jaws cursor and when I switch over 
to PC cursor I can get to the system tray and its icons. When I use the numpad 
to click on the icon jaws says I have selected, it reacts as if I am clicking 
with the cursor from my actual mouse which is in another area of the screen.

  So say my real mouse cursor is over an icon on the desktop. If I navigate 
with the PC cursor to the system tray, go over an icon and right click, it will 
instead react as if I was right clicking on the desktop icon where the mouse 
cursor is, not the one in the system tray.

  When I navigate with the jaws cursor it either reads only the taskbar or the 
system tray clock, it won't read the icons to me.

  I hope I explained it well this time. The problem isn't getting to the system 
tray itself, it's getting the left and right click buttons to react to the 
icons I have selected from the system tray.

  -Marc
