Stan Jones from Insight Software Solutions, Inc. got back to me.... Hi John, Essentially the <WIN> key is to be used with a letter after, such as the letter "r" to open the Run dialog. If you want to open the Start menu, then use the Win Down and Win Up keys - <WIND><WINU>.

Thanks for the work around Ancantor! The workaround works for 7, I will try on 10 when I get home tonight. I have emailed insight about the problem...we shall see.
