Hi Fernando, Thank you very much for the explanation, it does help me understand this setting more than any results I've received from an Internet search. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

Hi Mike, Combining taskbar buttons means joining buttons belonging to different open documents in a given program on one single button. For example, if you have two Word documents opened at the same time and taskbar buttons are combined, you will not have a button for each document, but only a single button representing Word that will bring up a list in which you'll be able to select the document in which you're interested. By the way, this combo box sets wetter buttons are never combined, always combined or only when taskbar is full, that is, when no more items fit on the screen area reserved for the taskbar according to your screen resolution, DPI scaling and related factors. But luckily there is, unlike about many other areas in Windows 10, a well documented help topic that you can access by a link in the Taskbar Settings category which reads something like “How taskbars are customized?”. The link says taskbars in plural, because you can have multiple taskbars with different items, both on multiple monitors or multiple virtual desktops. As you can see, although Control Panel is being replaced with Settings and the old dialog for taskbar is almost faced out, fortunately most concepts regarding these options aren’t so different from the fundamentals you may be familiar in previous Windows versions. Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Mike B.

I've done searches with this question, but didn't get a good answer. Thank you mooy moocho. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool.

First, in the Taskbar settings that you can quickly open by pressing ALT+ENTER on the Start button, there's a combo box on wetter taskbar ALT+buttons are combined or not. This setting was previously available on the Taskbar and Start Menu Properties dialog box. Second, since Windows 10, in the System\Multitasking category of the Settings app, theres a combobox to choose if pressing ALT+TAB moves through windows of the current desktop or all of them. If you use multiple desktops, you may need to adjust this setting in order to be able to alt-tabbing between windows on all of the open virtual desktops, not only the currently focused one. Im sorry for not telling you exact names of the settings. I don’t have an English language pack to actually check them. Regarding taskbar-related keyboard shortcuts with the Windows Logo key, WINDOWS+TAB was used in Windows XP and earlier versions to set the focus WINDOWS+on the first and subsequently the next item of the taskbar. In Windows Vista and 7 this shortcuts stopped working, unless you had Windows Aero enabled. The original hotkey, in Windows Vista and later, was changed by WINDOWS+T. In Windows 10 WINDOWS+TAB also shows open windows, but on the Task View instead of the Taskbar. In addition to showing open windows, Task View allow to create and close virtual desktops, as well as moving windows between open desktops. In Windows 10 version 1803, which is currently in preview and will soon be released to the general public, the Task View also allows to manage the Timeline, a feature which group different program windows related with a specific user work, such as the different Word documents, Outlook or Mail messages and Edge websites related to a given research, novel etc. Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Justin Williams Sent: Saturday, March 24, 2018 4:45 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] task bar I've noticed, that from time to time, like right now, I can't alt tab through the different application on the task bar, like if I have 8 open, I can only see one or two. Is there an overlay or something, why is this happening, and how do I fix it?
