Hi to all on list: My name is Hal and I just joined yesterday. A little about myself, I am a blind computer user living in Canada, my screen reader is Jaws and I use Windows XP as my operating system. I enjoy computers, music, reading, and lawn bowling.
An interesting thing happened to me the other day. Basically my user profile appears to have gotten corrupted. How this happened, I don't know except to say that it all began right after I lost all sounds and jfw 9.0 wouldn't talk. The only thing I remember is that I held down on the power button on my laptop's docking bay for 10 seconds until the system shut off. Perhaps I hit an odd keystroke before that I just don't know. Whenever I'd boot my system, both my Jaws and Windows settings weren't retained; it was like Windows lost the ability to remember the changes I made. I like to use Windows classic start menu but at that point, Windows had other ideas; I'd have to make the change every time. Can anyone here relate to this? My dad, who is very knowledgeable about computers saw that Windows was unable to locate my user profile. He was able to create another account for me, it's Haliard. For now, when I boot my computer Jaws comes up with the log on screen, and I am given the choice to log in as either Hal Pearson, or Haliard. If I log in as Hal Pearson, my settings will not stick so I log in as Haliard. Once I get rid of the corrupt files and throw away the old Hal Pearson account, I'd like to rename Haliard, back to Hal Pearson. So when I arrow up and down in my start menu, I see, "log off Haliard..." Where do I go to make this change so I'll then see "log off Hal Pearson"? I can make an educated guess. I went exploring in control panel and found user accounts. Do I make the change there?
