Unfortunately the hotkey really does change, perhaps among Skype versions, perhaps among different windows in one Skype version, perhaps both. I suspect the hotkeys are automatically assigned based on the order of options in each menu, so if "v" is alreaty taken before "View Profile" is reached, it gets "w." This is consistent with Microsoft standards for how menu shortcut keys get assigned, and it is also the reason the Help menubar item is now assigned Alt+E ever since Chat showed up and took Alt+H; but admittedly, it is disconcerting to see the key change so much.

If they are on my contacts list, I normally do this via the context key and arrowing down until I hear profile. I can't use an access key because sometimes jaws says it should be v, and at others, jaws reports it as w. The odd thing is that I have done what jaws says, and I will get to the profile. What I don't understand is why the accelerator or access key should change. Sometimes it can be w, at others it can be v. If anybody else has had this one, I would be grateful if you could tell me as I'm hoping I'm not off my head. If there is another explanation, a sensible one, then I'd love to know what it is, but I'm not that technically minded.
