Yes: the only conclusion that I have come to is that perhaps my 8.1 update did not properly complete. I have learnt over the years with Windows that thing under its bonnet are not quite what they should be - getting more unstable and more complex with each new release.

It was a list member who advised of this command when I indicated that I was having difficulty with Window-Eyes focus whenever ctrl-alt-del were pressed. Will keep hunting. All the best.

Prior to a hard drive failure, my Windows 8.1. had the command which gave me a menu type structure to access features such as shut down, the control panel, command prompts etc. This was the Windows-X command, very accessible to Window-Eyes. Now I have a completely new windows install, and have lost my Windows-X command. Can someone please advise how I get it back? In appreciation. Vaughan.
