I do not believe that rewind and fast forward work on all file types. In particular, I am not sure they work on MP3 files, for example, or at least not on all bit- rates. However, it is possible that CONTROL-SHIFT-B is used by your screen reader. For example. Window-Eyes uses it to toggle between restrictions on the mouse pointer keys. You can get past that by using the key that bypasses controls first. In case of Window-Eyes, pressing INSERT-B first will cause CONTROL-SHIFT-B to be passed through to Windows Media Player. One way you can determine if the rewind is working is to find "Rewind" in the menus. Go do "Play and then to "rewind". If it is not functioning, it will say "Rewind" disabled. Incidentally, I have some MP3's where fast forward works but rewind does not.
