The scripts that you add or modify go in to the explore my settings folder,
especially if you are the only person using the system.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Backing Up Settings\enu JFW7.1
Flor and All,
I admit that I have been more than a tad confused about backing
up the script files since FS introduced the new path for the
settings\ene back in JFW 6.0 or whenever it was. At least part of my
problem may stem from confusion about when things go in "New User" and
what goes in "All Users." My tech built my XP Home machine and never
changed it to Margaret or whatever and I've gotten different answers
on lists about whether he's wrong that it's difficult to do at this
point since the machine is more than 2 years old or if it's easily
accomplished.
The "New User" vs. "Margaret" isn't an issue since I'm stuck with
it,, but I looked for old posts I've saved about "Shared Files" and
etc. and I still don't really understand it. I'm the only one who
uses the machine except when a sighted person helps out with a problem
or if it's more serious and my tech is needed.
I also have Thou shall back up thine script files before making
any changes to thine new version of JAWS tatooed on the back of my
hand" since we were warned since JFW 3.x about the dire consequences
that could result if there were problems resulting from changind the
script files if we didn't back up first.
I found the instructions posted on the JFWlite page before JAWS
6.0, so I do what I want to do at least in theory.
"Backup Current Scripts Instructions!
Synopsis: Instructions on backing up current scripts.
Description: Instructions on backing up your current script
folder
before making changes to existing scripts.
Remarks: Before making any changes or additions, you should
back
up your current scripts, in case something goes wrong with the
modification
you're attempting to make, causing you to restore the original copy.
Example: You want to make the ChangePunctuation script a
part of
your default script file, but every time you try to compile, your
system
crashes! What do you do?
This is just a hypothetical situation, but a good example of why it
would
benefit you to have a copy of your default.jss file stored in a safe
folder. To get back to where the system is stable again, so you can
take
another shot at adding that script, you'd only need to copy that
single,
backed up file back into the script folder, overwriting the one you're
having so much trouble with!
Here is one means of ensuring you have a safe copy:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Select My Computer from the Desktop.
2) When presented with the Drive list, arrow down to "C:" and whack
Enter.
3) Hit the letter "J", until you find your version of jaws and hit
enter.
4) Hit "S", and arrow down to the "Settings" folder and whack Enter.
5) Arrow to your specific language's folder and whack Enter. (For
English, it will be "ENU".)
You are now in your JAWS Script folder, wher JFW stores all your
script
files.
What we need to do now is
-Mark all the files and copy them to the clipboard.
-create an empty folder, then move into that folder.
-paste the files from the clipboard into this folder.
6) Hit Control+A to "select" all the contents of this folder.
7) Hit Control+C to copy the selected files onto the clipboard.
8) Hit Alt+F to drop the File menu, and arrow down to select "New..."
9) From the resulting menu, select "Folder" as the item to create,
and
give it a name, such as "Originals", and whack Enter.
10) Arrow down until you reach this new folder, and whack Enter.
(Hitting
the End key sometimes takes you to the newly-created item, since it is
probably at the end of the file list you are in.)
11) Hit Control+V, or select "Paste" from the Edit menu. This should
have
pasted all the script files into this new folder.
12) Hit Alt+F4 until you are back at the Desktop."
I'm wondering if I could create a new folder somewhere well away
from either of the paths, copy the one thousand and whatever files and
paste them in the newly created folder?
Any help in getting what script files belong where or information
as to where FS has explained this would be appreciated. I admit to
being extremely stupid about this, but I was confused from the get-go
when my tech didn't change "New User" to "Margaret" or whatever.
Thank you,
Margaret

I don't know what you do. Could you not rather make piecemeal changes
to
JAWS7.10 rather than have to back up everything and then get lost, as
it
were? I hope you know what you want to do, and how better to do it.
Others
may offer more illumination.

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Backing Up Settings\enu JFW7.1
The path for shared settings is
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\enu
It has 7 folders and well over 1,000 files.
Do I create the new folder to copy all the files in as with
earlier versions and paste them in that folder and put it here or copy
them and paste them in the newly created folder at
C:\Documents and Settings\new user\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\enu
Thanks,,

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Backing Up Settings\enu JFW7.1
Hi All,,
I have JAWS 7.1 reinstalled again and want to back up the
settings\enu so I'll have the original ones before I start configuring
7.1 to my liking. When I go to explore my settings, I get the path as
C:\Documents and Settings\new user\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\enu
but instead of the several folders and a bunch of files that I got in
settings\enu in earlier versions, I'm only getting
Personalized Settings and default .jcf.
I looked on the list's home page and old posts I've saved to see how
you do it with 7.1, but didn't see anything.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Margaret
