Shift – F10 does not work for right clicking on the desktop on my computer. The application key find a blank spot on the desktop after pressing Windows – M, then Ctrl – Spacebar. Re: Press Windows – M or Windows – D. You will hear “Desktop” and a name of a shortcut icon on your desktop. This mean you are on the desktop with the marker on this specific icon. To move the marker to a blank spot, press Ctrl – Spacebar. Now you press the “Application key” usally located two or three keys to the right of the spacebar. If not, you can use the FN key + one other key. In my case it is the FN and 3`rd key from the top right. Window Eyes will announce “Context menu”. From: Jim Grimsby JR.

You should also note that when you press control+space the item becomes unselected. You are not physically moved to a blank spot on the desktop as your instructions state below. What happens is the item simply becomes unselected and then when you open the context menu, because nothing is selected the context is for your desktop. Versus a selected folder or shortcut. Hope this helps. Jim Grimsby JR. E-mail: Windows live messenger: [email protected] Twitter: jgrimsby Skype jim.grimsby From: Terje Strømberg Sent: Sunday, January 01, 2012 7:59 AM To: Jim Grimsby JR.

I have Windows XP. I thought I read something on this some time ago but can't find it if I did. Rick USA If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
