Hi Net bat, From: Mike B Try the following: 1. Open the Settings Center with, Insert + 6 on the number row, & press, Control, Shift + D, to open Settings Center Default All Applications. 2. Arrow down to, Keyboard, & press right arrow to open. 3. Arrow down to, Manage Key Labels...., & press the spacebar to open. Note: Do not press enter, pressing enter will close the Settings Center. 4. After pressing the spacebar you will be in a list of keys. Arrow down to the key you want to mute, & Tab 1 time to the, Toggle Mute Button, & press the spacebar to mute. You'll hear Jaws announce, for example the Tab key, Tab Tab mute. 5. Tab to, Okay, press the spacebar, tab to, Apply, press the spacebar, tab to, Okay, & press enter to save your change & close the Settings Center. Take care.
