Another possibility is that it could be what's known as the F Lock key,
which is a toggle key between different function key modes. (JAWS
probably won't speak it when pressed with any other key. It may already
have been reassigned, or turned off, by the former owner.) You may
eventually be left with no option but to find a machine to connect and
to install the unwanted software! Perhaps not yet...

Mike,
is there a model name/number for the keyboard, do you know? Then
perhaps we can get a description of this kiey's functionality from
somewhere. Do you have sufficient contact details (email addy, etc.)
for the selling owner? Does the keyboard have an Applications key, and
where is it? (It should be next the right-windows key if that's
present, which it seems to be.)

Hi Mike,
Thank you for your reply. I tried Jaws keyboard help using several
keystrokes with this, folders key, & Jaws didn't once mention this
particulaar key.
Take care.
Mike

Hi
One thing you can try is the turn on the keyboard help mode by
pressing
JAWSkey+numrow 1. Then press the key to see what JAWS says it is.
If it
doesn't say anything, try pressing and holding it and press a letter
key to
see what is says. If JAWS recognizes the key, it will say
KeyName+letter.
But if it just says the letter, it is probably something like the FN
key
that never gets past to Windows. In that case, I doubt you can map
it to
something else. Type JAWSkey+numrow 1 again to turn off keyboard
help mode.
If JAWS does say what the key is, you can try creating a Default.jkm
file in
your JAWS user settings directory and include entries like
[Common Keys]
KeyName=ScriptName
Where ScriptName is the name of a script found in the Default.JSS
file in
the JAWS shared settings folder. This Default.jkm file will not
interfere
with the JAWS sup[plied Default.jkm file. As far as I know, the
shift, caps
lock, control, windows and alt keys cannot be mapped in a JKM file.

Hi All,
I'm running XP Pro, Jaws 13 thru 15, & a Microsoft Desktop 3000
wireless
keyboard. In the place where the right Windows Key is normally,
there is a
button / key with a picture of 3 folders. I have no clue as to what
this
key does. Is there any way to change the function of this key to the
function of a Windows Key? Or, is there a way of swapping the
functions of
the left Windows Key and the key with the key with the pictures of 3
folders? All advice & help will be greatly appreciated! Thank you
all
very, very much.
Take care.
Mike
