hello accessindia!

internet explorer and outlook express. i am not a technical person, so, i
can't guarantee, whether it will completely work with yor system or not. i
use these settings and found working fine with me. please go through the
entire documentation and follow the instructions:
Windows XP and JAWS
This topic discusses settings changes we recommend you make when using
JAWS
in Windows XP Home or Professional. You must be logged in with
administrative rights to make several of these changes.
Many of these settings are changed within Control Panel. To open Control
Panel, press the WINDOWS KEY to open the Start Menu, move to Control
Panel,
and press ENTER. Depending on your system settings, Control Panel either
opens in a separate window, or the Control Panel items open as a sub-menu.
We recommend making changes in the following areas:
a. Display Properties
b. Folder Options
c. Start Menu
d. Windows Explorer
e. System Performance
Display Properties
1. From the Control Panel, move to "Display" and press Enter.
2. From the themes combo box, select Windows XP.
3. In the List of backgrounds on the Desktop page, choose Bliss.
4. Set Position to "Stretch."
5. In the Screen Saver combo box on the Screen Saver page, press HOME to
select none.
6. On the Appearance page, set Windows and Buttons to Windows classic
style.
7. Set Color Scheme to Windows Standard.
8. Set Font to normal.
9. Close the dialog.
Note: After making these changes, the Display page Themes combo box says
"Modified Theme."
Folder Options
1. From the Control Panel, press ALT+T to go to the Tools menu.
2. Press O for Folder Options.
3. From the Tasks radio button group, select Use Windows Classic folders.
4. (Optional):
1. On the View page, move to the Advanced Settings tree view.
2. Clear the Hide Extensions For Known File Types check box.
3. If you also use screen magnification software, clear the Show pop-up
description for folder and desktop items check box. Pop up descriptions
often hides the menu item just below any given menu item, making it
impossible to visually see the next item in the menu list.
4. Move to the Apply to All Folders button and press SPACEBAR.
5. Select Yes in the dialog that opens to acknowledge this change.
5. Move to the OK button in the Folder Options dialog box and press
SPACEBAR to close this dialog box.
Start Menu
1. From Control Panel, Move to Taskbar and Start menu and press ENTER.
2. From the Taskbar page, press ALT+G to move to and uncheck Group
Similar Taskbar Buttons.
3. Press ALT+H to move to and uncheck the check box for Hide inactive
icons.
4. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Start Menu page.
5. Select Classic start menu.
6. Press ENTER to close this dialog box.
Windows Explorer
1. Press WINDOWS KEY+E to open Windows Explorer.
2. Press ALT+V to open the View menu.
3. Select "Arrange Icons by" and press ENTER to open the submenu.
4. Move to the menu item "Name" to arrange by Name, and Press ENTER to
select this and close the menus.
5. Repeat steps 2 and 3, and move to the item "Show in Groups." If it is
checked, press ENTER to uncheck it and close the menus.
6. Press ALT+T to open the Tools menu.
7. Press O to open the Folder Options Dialog.

System Performance
1. From the Control Panel, move to System and press ENTER to open the
System Properties Dialog.
2. Press CTRL+TAB to move to the Advanced page.

4. Clear the following check boxes:
a. Animate Windows when Minimizing and Maximizing.
b. Slide open Combo Boxes.
c. Smooth-scroll List Boxes.
d. Use Visual Styles on Windows and Buttons.
5. Press ENTER to close the Performance Options dialog and return to the
System Properties dialog box.

Internet Explorer and outlook express:
If you want to use the Internet Explorer toolbar, you should include text
labels on the buttons. To do this go to the Toolbars submenu under the

advanced
options that should also be changed. Open the Internet Options dialog

Pages

Inbox as the starting location of Outlook Express. To do this, open the
Options dialog under the Tools menu. Move to the General page and check
the
box that reads, "When starting, go directly to my Inbox folder." For
optimal
functionality with JAWS, it will be necessary for the toolbar to be
enabled.
To do this, make sure that Toolbars is checked in layout under the View
menu. Text labels for the Toolbar also need to be turned on. Go to the
Layout dialog under the View menu. Hit enter on the customize toolbars
button and make sure it specifies Show Text on toolbar. You can also
disable the preview pane in this dialog if desired. The Preview pane is
used
to view messages automatically as you move up and down the message list.
Uncheck Use preview pane to disable this feature. If you want to leave the
preview pane enabled, but do not want messages to be marked as read
automatically as they are updated in the preview pane, go to the Options
dialog under the Tools menu. Press CTRL+TAB to the Read page and turn OFF
the
Message Is Read After Being Previewed check box.
