I believe when you install the access page for Amazon, it stores a cookie on
your machine so it will remember that you want the access page every time
you open your browser.
So, go looking in your cookies area under IE, I think it is on the General,
Settings page, look for View Files.
An alternative is to type
shell:cache
from the Run command. Then, just do a search for cookie.admin.amazon.com
If you delete any cookies associated with Amazon, you may need to re-create
your account log-in meaning, it won't remember if you chose to automatically
sign-in and/or it will not remember your username, but your account will
still be there. But, that will allow you to access the normal site.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Intro and Internet Explorer Problem
Hello All,
This is Glenn in Northeast Nebraska.
I believe in myself to be a relatively computer-wise person most of the
time, but I have a problem that has me stumped this time, and hoping
someone here might have an idea for me.
I called Amazon about this problem, and they could not help me, they don't
have a clue.
Anyway, what happened is that I was trying to help someone with little
computer skills, via eMail, because he was having a problem with making
some purchases from Amazon.com.
So I suggested that he try the access page by typing in the Amazon.com URL
with /access at the end.
He could not make that simple thing happen, so I told him that I would
eMail him the URL, because he can press enter on a link.
Well, all that helped, but to be sure that the /access page was still
going on with Amazon, I actually did it first from my Internet Explorer.
It is, and I copied the URL and sent it to him, and that was the end of
his problems, and the beginning of mine.
I prefer IE over FireFox, which I also have installed.
But now, there is no way I can get to a non-access page on Amazon.com, and
I would prefer the non-access page, because I don't want separate links
for reviews and details, and I like headings on pages, which the access
pages lack.
I can copy the URL from IE, and paste it into the open page dialog in FF,
and I get a normal non-access page.
So I tried to copy the non-access URL from FF, and paste it into the open
page dialog in IE, and it takes me to an access page in IE.
I am using Windows 7 64 bit and the latest IE for windows 7 and Jaws 18.
I'm thinking that this is a cookie problem.
I looked under my name-folder and found cookies, but windows treats it
like a file and asks me which program to open it with.
I had asked on another list and a good suggestion was to export my cookies
and then delete the cookie folder, and then import the cookies.
I did that, and with IE all closed out, but when I went back in, I still
get Amazon's access page.
I'm hoping for another suggestion.
Thanks.
Glenn
