After pressing the application key while having the notification chevron button highlighted. 2. Down arrow to, show task view button checked, press enter to uncheck and close it. 3. The task view button will be removed from tabbing from your desktop. 4. Again press the applications key while the notification chevron button is highlighted. 5.

Arrow down to, hidden, press the enter key to check this item and close the menu. If the above steps are done correctly, when you tab from your desktop, you should only hear: Start button, taskbar, notification chevron button, show desktop button, and back to your active desktop. For example: When Tabbing from left to right from my Desktop, this is What I hear: Start button, Taskbar, Notification Chevron button, Show desktop button, back to my Desktop. I have removed the other two default items from tabbing across, the Task view and the extra Search. This makes for a cleaner experience, when Tabbing to the Desktop and Taskbar and Notification Chevron button on our, W-10 computers. ****Tip for navigating the W-10 desktop: 1.
