Hi Janie, Apparently my menues are not showing up at all when I'm in the start menu, according to Freedom Scientific's Tech Support. So, they suggested going back to the Windows default settings. Hopefully someone has information on how this is done! Thanks much, take care. Mike

What I mean to say all the above keystrokes don't do anything when I invoke them, i.e, Jaws says nothing, I get nothing! Are these keystrokes supposed to work in the Start Menu? If not, other than changing display settings, which I have tried, what can I do to get these keystrokes to work? Thanks much, take care.

I want to make shortcut keystrokes for Jaws12 & 13 but, I would like to make them from the Start Menu rather than the Desktop. As I would like to do for other shortcut keystrokes. Am I supposed to able to open the properties / get access to shortcuts from the start menu? If not, other than the desktop, where in Windows7 32 bit, can I make shortcuts from? All advice / help will be greatly appreciated. Thank much, take care.
