Well, I think I have a solution to the Taskbar menu keyboard shortcut thing. Hope it works for everyone who is interested. Check it out and let me know. Reading through all the thoughts and comments (thanks everyone for your efforts and suggestions!) and playing around a whole lot more, it seemed to me there was something going on which was difficult to predict. The following both worked for me *sometimes* (Windows'98 with Autohide enabled on the Start Menu):- - WindowsKey + Tab - Tab - ContextMenuKey - E (to tile vErtically) or H (to tile Horizontally) OR - WindowsKey (or Ctrl+Esc) - Escape - Tab - ContextMenuKey - E (to tile vErtically) or H (to tile Horizontally) ...but sometimes they only worked at the second CONSECUTIVE attempt. I found that if the first attempt failed, then I returned the focus to an application, the next attemp would also fail. However, if I tried, didn't succeed, then tried again IMMEDIATELY - it then seemed to work without fail. The 'failure' was always the same - the Taskbar would loose the focus at the "Tab" step. SO!!! Lateral thinking cap on, and... Here It Is - works every time for me!!! - WindowsKey + Tab - WindowsKey - Escape - Tab - ContextMenuKey - E (to tile vErtically) or H (to tile Horizontally) Yeehaa! ...well, every time so far... ;-) Not exactly super-elegant, I know. But it's impressing the hell out of the girl sitting next to me in the Internet cafe! (She was already looking pretty incredulous after watching me hook up the Libretto...) I ended up having to explain what it was all about, and one of the messages from Pres was open in Outlook Express while I was demonstrating with the keyboard. Maybe she'll be back tomorrow in a miniskirt, eh? Sincerely...
