Actually I did notice a few changes when I did this finger-stretching key combo. The first thing I noticed was it changed the insert to overwrite characters instead of pushing them to the right, I was able to get this back. Secondly, the Jaws voice suddenly got very low and slow and the key interrupt was flipped from my preference, I was able to get this back to normal with a couple of restarts. The only thing I haven't been able to recover from yet are that it changed the visual appearance of my desktop and start menu slightly, moving a few desktop items a bit to the left partly off the screen I think and adding a visually distracting sidebar with a Microsoft logo to the start menu column. This probably isn't really a topic of much interest to the list, but if anyone has any ideas here they can write me off-list. I checked the screen resolution and it didn't seem to have changed.
Probably not a great idea to try out key combinations you don't know what they do. Had a rare moment of curiosity.

Michael, That keystroke is supposed to completely (and very quickly) kill JAWS and simultaneously create a debug file dump for analysis purposes. If you didn't notice anything, then perhaps you didn't actually hit the Windows key. I agree with you. Some of these keystrokes actually hurt my 58-year-old fingers.

Using the insert key on the numpad, that's a really difficult stretch. In my perfect world, the jaws key would be in the middle of the keyboard right below the spacebar. I hate having to jump all the way over to the numpad with my right hand and frequently have to move my left hand out of position to cover a certain key, then have to move both hands back. Seems so inefficient... btw, what does this keystroke do? I tried it and heard my computer make a little sci-fi sound. Figured I'd better do it a second time to toggle it off, whatever it was.
