It should effect the current instance, I believe it depends on which window
has the greater window handle, but this is just a guess. I've noticed some
differences when using the Run command in windows (Windows+R), and this
would give you a better idea what to expect when using the function, since
this is the command being used by JAWS.
Experimenting a bit should give you a better idea by trying the Windows Run
command.
Hope this helps,
Bryan
