Just to clarify, be it that Pierre gave the path to the .lnk file for
Window-Eyes, you don't have to access that file directly. Just open the
start menu, focus the Window-Eyes item, open the context menu, R for
properties, and you can tab down to the shortcut definition field to see
what it is or change it.

Yes, in a W-E standard configuration, there is no short-cut attached to the
W-E icon on the desktop.
When installing W-E, the short-cut to launch W-E is not attached to the W-E
icon on the desktop, it is attached to the item of the Windows start-up menu
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Window-Eyes\Window-Eyes.lnk"
May be you could try to delete the short-cut attached to this item in
the Windows start-up menu, and define one for the W-E icon on the desktop,
then check if
the multiple lauching of W-E is still present.

I noticed that in my configuration, that there is no short key defined for the
desktop icon, so why it is getting launched more than once is not easily
ferried out.

Thank you to all who :elped.
The problem is solved now.
The problem was that, when installing W E on a new Windows 8 laptop,
the up-arrow key had been taken as the key to launch W-E. Thus, each time the
up-arrow key was hit, a new copy of W-E was launched. Embarrassing.
Thus, I defined the right hot-key of the Window-Eyes icon in the start-up menu
found at :
"C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start
Menu\Programs\Window-Eyes\Window-Eyes.lnk"
It was not sufficient to define a hot-key for the W-E icon on the desktop,
because the up-arrow pseudo hot-key already defined for the icon in the
start-up menu had to be replaced.
Thank you.

Hi Pierre:
First of all, I don't think you have to define a hotkey for
Window-eyes. The default hotkey is control-alt-w, which is defined
for you.
But in case I am wrong, here is how you define a hotkey:
1. Highlight the Window-eyes icon on your desktop.
2. Press shift-f10 to go to the context menu.
3. Press the up-arrow key to get to Properties and press the Enter key.
4. Press the Tab key until Window-eyes says "shortcut key".
5. If you want the shortcut key to be control-alt-w, just type the
letter w and the "control-alt" will automatically be inserted. If you
want alt-shift-w, you will have to press alt-shift-w. Then tab to OK
and press the spacebar.
I hope this helps.
