Hi Geno, When you press Windows key + M that should take you to the desktop & minimize running programs. If you press, Insert + F10, this will open the list of running applications, & you should be able to arrow down through the list pressing enter on the running application you want, which should take you to that running application. To my knowledge, which is minimal, Windows key + M, shouldn't close running programs.
Also, have you ever changed your desktop theme, or do you use the default Windows7 Basic theme? Take care. Mike Sent from my iBarstool.

I use to turn on my computer, per normal each morning. After doing my password and open the Desk-top Icons use to be easy to go to what-ever Icon I wanted. Or if, example, done working in Medical documents for my son, Outlook open, Internet open for the Portal. Of course ALT-Tab back and forth and of course the Desk-top Icons are usable. Now If I close out for Back up for "My Computer Works," Company or do a VIA computer to computer work with them, I am closing all programs I have open. It is at this time there is no jaws use on the Desk-top, for Jaws to function. So have to do the Windows key and Letter, M-Mike key-stroke and bingo it is there. I guess in my 66 and soon to be 67 I like the Idea of when closing out of all the programs, that the Desk-top Icons are "Visible," to the Jaws instead of doing Windows key and the Key Letter M as in Mike. I had this ability till I up-graded Aslogic Defrag and Aslogic Register cleaner. Now I had "My Computer Works," Company take a look at during my every two Months tune up with them, yesterday and he said nothing he could see with the installation in up dating either one. In fact of checking the Aslogic, register, which he noted some times that program chan change things, he seen no fault there. I just know I had the Desk-top Icons available to me till I up-dated both Aslogic programs. Does this make it a little easier what I am wanting back?

The question is some how on this Tower of mine, did a up-date with Aslogic and managed to mess up the Desk-top Icons, for Jaws to read them. Unles doing windows and Letter M as in Mike. So this is a Windows 7 machine and running the latest of registered Jaws 17. Any help in getting my Icons back all the time instead of doing Windows plus M as in Mike would be greatly appreciated. Need instructions where to go and what to do, thank-you in advance.

It is possible you are being asked if you want to allow the operation. This is not the User Account dialog (UAC), but I have seen this when first installing JAWS for the first time on some computers.
