Hi Thom, on my laptop, the application key is shiftF10 Tam and this brings me
to the context menu. Hope this helps

Hi Tom,
that is true. It might depend on layout of each laptop.
Anyway, in case you want to access the properties to set a shortcut, just
select it on your desktop, and press Alt + Enter. This will open the
Properties panel, where the Shortcut tab is.

I know of the application key but have no idea where it is. It is not on
the lap top I am using left of the right control key
Any jaws user out there that uses a laptop or can remember when they used a
laptop where the application key is?
I did
Windows and M and this took me straight to the desktop
I then followed the other steps you suggested, and they worked out more or
less
Appreciate your help and yours Dominique
Tom

I never knew what that key is called but let me retry:
Open Properties:
Navigate to your desktop using Win + D.
Locate the shortcut you just created, and press Alt + Enter to open its
Properties.
Assign a Shortcut Key:
In the Properties window, go to the "Shortcut" tab.
In the "Shortcut key" field, press the key you want to use as a shortcut.
Windows will automatically add Ctrl + Alt + to the key you press.
For example, if you press 'A', it will become Ctrl + Alt + A.

Hi Tom,
I'm not sure what people call this feature. It is usually the right
click on the mou se to bring up a menu but I know the mouse is useless in
this case. So, this can be reproduced once you select the icon by
pressing the button on the left side of the right control key. That
control key is the last on the bottom row in the main cluster of keys
(where letters are). It differs if you are using a laptop, but it should
be just before hitting the arrow keys.
I hope that makes sense.
