Hi Flor, Justin, & RJ, Thank you very much for your replies & input. First, I misspoke, I was trying to do a windows search but, what happened was I was using a registry hack that allowed me to use the Windows 98 search in XP.. I prefer the way the dialogue boxes come up in that version but, after running the, old search off registry hack to turn the old search off in the registry, I can now use both the control + F & Windows Key + F, keystrokes to open the windows search dialogue. So, back to normal well, Doctor Phil would argue the hell out of that! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL Thanks again. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.

For finding files & folders, as RJ has indicated, use Windows+f, then f, among some other techniques. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <mb69ma...@charter.net> To: "Jaws-Users List" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Monday, February 18, 2013 11:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Invoking The Control + F Keystroke > Hi All, > > Whenever I invoke the control + F keystroke, which is supposed to > invoke the > screen readers find dialogue, Jaws goes dead & I have to use the > Insert, > Windows key, + F4 keystroke to shut Jaws down & a shortcut keystroke > to get > Jaws running again.
