One could pin programs to the task bar in a specific order and then press alt-1 through alt-0 to launch or switch to them. To see the order of programs on your task bar, press windows-t and then right arrow through. Chris

Chris -----Original Message----- From: Talk [mailto:talk-bounces+cgrabowski=aisquared....@lists.window-eyes.com] On Behalf Of Larry Higgins via Talk Sent: Tuesday, August 16, 2016 9:36 AM To: Window-Eyes Discussion List <talk@lists.window-eyes.com> Subject: My ctrl-alt shortcut combos are suddenly gone Listers, I know this might border on the off topic, but I'm quite certain that most all of you use these kind of shortcut combos for easy access to your favorite apps/programs, and when they don't work, you can feel a bit lost and frustrated, as I do at the moment. Does anyone have any ideas as to how I can go about getting mine back? I got up this morning and when I tried loading IE, with ctrl-alt-i, it didn't work. The same with my Thunderbird keys ctrl-alt-e. All of my windows key shortcuts are working fine, it is just these personal combo keys that are giving me trouble. And yes, the ctrl-alt-w is working for Window-Eyes. I did try redefining one of the shortcuts, but to no avail. If anybody has any ideas they would certainly be appreciated. I just hope I don't have to do something so drastic as a Windows restore, but if that will work, guess I'll just have to bite one and do that. But hope we can find a more immediate and softer solution.
