I think Steve was just making a recommendation. It'll probably work equally well both ways, but if you're resetting something, it's best not to have that thing actually running while you're doing it, because some things can't be rest while they are operational. You know how when you install most programs a screen comes up telling you to close applications? That's why. There are dependencies and such that lots of programs have, and you won't be able to remove or change something on the system while it's in use. Rather than give you an error message about it, the program in question might just leave a bunch of junk cluttering up your system. So, it's just a sensible practice.
Having said that, I do want to point out that Steve's search box method to get to the control panel still works best in Windows 10. The windows key--x menu, which I have forgotten the name of at the moment, at least on my Windows 10 machine, has a link to the settings app, but not control panel, though I guess it's possible to add this to the menu yourself if you want to. Despite Microsoft making promises about better integration, settings and control panel are still not integrated. I personally dislike the settings app so am happy control panel is still around. Still though... -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Mr. Ed Sent: June 19, 2018 5:02 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] I E 11 Hi Steve, And why would that make any different? Seems to me if MS put the reset button inside IE that would be okay to reset it that way. So let us know why it would not be okay to do it that say compared to going to the control panel.
