No. Windows is not smart enough to clear one hotkey out when it's assigned somewhere else. Recall that we're talking about Windows hotkeys assigned to desktop and Start menu icons -- not JAWS hotkeys.

dave if yuou assign a short cut then do the same action again using a different version of jaws. would it not react to the last request. this would eliminate the first request of the same thing. just a thought. please advise, karen

Dave and everyone:
From what I can tell, the JAWS installation does not automatically assign CTRL+ALT+J, as a short cut to start JAWS.
I was using JAWS 10 at the time. As an experiment, I assigned CTRL+ALT+J, to both JAWS 10 and 11. Windows did not complain that I had assigned the short cut to two applications. I unloaded JAWS 10 and press CTRL+ALT+J and waited to see which version of JAWS would be loaded. Well, in my example, JAWS 11 was loaded.
It would help, if Windows allowed only one occurrence of a short cut key combination to be allowed to launch a program. So, if you tried to assign a short cut combination that was already assigned to a program to another program, Windows would tell you that this was the case and give you another opportunity to choose another short cut combination for the other program.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

Mike,
Not quite.
Checking the "Start JAWS automatically" just ensure that JAWS will start up on boot of the computer.
When installing a new version (say from 11 to 12) a shortcut will be added to the desktop with the version number (e.g. JAWS 12) and it may or may not have the Ctrl+alt+J keystroke assigned.
If you have more than one major version of JAWS (9, 10, 11, 12) you could end up with a desktop shortcut for each, and usually the first one with the hotkey.
Users like Tom need to edit the shortcut preferences for the old version and the new to ensure that only one has the hotkey assigned.

Hi Tom,
There is no need to transfer the alt, control, + J, keystroke. That is the default shortcut keystroke for all versions of Jaws. What you need to do is go to the Jaws12 context menu / options / basics and check the box to have Jaws12 start automatically. By checking this box in any version of Jaws, tells Jaws to use this particular keystroke as the shortcut keystroke. Hope this helps. Take care. Mike

Hi, again.
I just thought of one more question here.
What is the best way to transfer the Alt Control J shortcut to Jaws 12 from Jaws 11, when doing the upgrade process?
I seem to recall having a problem with this once before in earlier upgrades, and can't remember how to resolve it.
All I remember is that I had great difficulty transferring the shortcut over to the new version of Jaws from the earlier version.
I would have thought that the "merge utilities" function would have taken care of this, but it didn't in my earlier upgrade efforts.
Thanks for putting up with all my questions lately.
Tom in Michigan
