If you have windows xp you can launch narator with windows+u and then use it to close all your programs and then press alt+f4 for the shut down dialogue. hth -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Stephen Faill Sent: 11 April 2006 09:21 AM To: Jaws mailing list Subject: hotkey for shutdown? hello list can anyone suggest a way to have a hotkey created that will enable me to press and have the pc shutdown instead of going through the start menu? this is mainly for when jaws stopped speaking and i have no other way to shut down except for pulling the power supply. thanks in anticipation. stephen
