Whether or not a taskbar program is running, you get some interesting context-menu options with programs that are on the task bar or the start menu. For task bar, Windows-T gets you on the task bar, and right and left arrows select a program. Once selected, the appplications key, context menu key (if you call it that) or shift-F10 give you a list of options pertaining to that program. This is usually recently-opened files, but will be recent web sites in the case of web browsers, or various parts of the program in the case of Outlook. If you want programs to be available on the taskbar in this way, find them on the desktop or the start menu, and explore their context menus. One of the options will often be "pin to taskbar."
I hope my explanation made sense.

Hi,
You can also press windows-t to focus the task bar, then left/right arrow through the icons or use first letter navigation after pressing windows-t.

Hi Nick,

I changed the subject of this message since the problem you're having seems to be that you're looking for an easy way of switching between open windows rather than the awesome task of attempting to get Stickikeys to work more easily for this purpose. Chip Orange is the author of an app called Hotwind which allows you to assign hotkeys to open windows. Also, under Windows 7 (and beyond, I assume), the WindowsKey combined with the numbers on the Qwerty area of the keyboard will activate open windows, the numbers running in the order they were first opened.

Hth,

Rod

Subject: Window-eyes & Sticky Keys

Sorry, I don’t want to hijack this list, but I’m wondering if there’s a way to improve the relationship between Window-eyes and Sticky Keys (a Microsoft accessibility feature)? This has been a problem since Windows-7. Alt-tabbing among windows becomes quite clumsy and it takes some trying to be in the window you want.
