Another variant -- The Key Label Manager allows a user to mute many of the annoying spoken keys, such as tab, which drives me nuts. I noticed that I have Apps set to mute. However further to confuse everything, when I unmute this key, save the default settings, unload JAWS and reload, it still only says "Context Menu". Never says "application". Go figure.

Hi Again Brian, I'm going to throw something in that will make a difference on what different people will hear even if they're running the same computer & Jaws version whether they're desktop or laptop. If their screen resolution is set differently or, their Jaws Verbosity levels are set differently people will hear Jaws report different dialog / or the lack thereof. Take care. Mike Global warming?

Hi Brian, I'm going to put my answers directly below your question: There seems to be some unexplained (but probably not unexplainable) reason that JAWS is announcing control key or key sequence strikes differently. Rather than trying to go back and filter through "the mega thread" I thought I'd make a request for data collection here. If you are willing and if the keyboard you use includes an applications/menu key, I'd like to know the following: When Applications/Menu Key is pressed, what does JAWS Announce? A: Applications, Context Menu. When SHIFT+F10 is pressed, what does JAWS Announce? A: Context Menu. When INS+F10 is pressed, what does JAWS Announce? A: Window List dialog Running Applications List Box. What version of JAWS are you running? A: JAWS 15, 16, & 17 latest. What version of Windows, including whether 32 or 64 bit, are you running? A: Windows 7 Pro 64 bit. What is make/model is your computer? A: Dell Inspiron 3847. Perhaps a pattern will present itself. Brian
