Jane and all,
Closing the applications folder before you unboot the Mac will result
in no speaking of that folder when you boot. Not sure of the rest
but think it's got to do with the fact that the app is not totally
gone when vo starts so you hear it as it finishes. Another example
of something like this is the speech recognition engine. When we use
it, we hear system has a new window and other things a lot as the
window opens and closes and as it spawns other windows to carry out
commands.

I just did a restart to see exactly wwhat happens when the app for
date/time is run.
The computer runs the app in the system voice, then the login
greeting of "Welcome to VoiceOver. Macintosh is running." Then
VoiceOver says "say date and ti" then it says "Applications" and
"0sex" the first folder in Applications. How do I get it to stop
saying all of that past the login greeting? Well I don't mind it
saying Applications, but the rest I don't need.
