Ok, I personally set the theme to Windows Classic. Here is how you do
this. Note this is from memory.
1. Right click the desktop, and choose personalize. Make sure nothing is
selected first with ctrl+space.
2. Using all four of you arrow keys, find Windows Classic in the theme
gallery, and press enter. Windows 7 will play the sound when you log on,
indicating the theme was changed successfully.
3. Close out Personzliation.

Chris,
I admire your ability and experience but sometimes you forget that many of
us are not nearly as capable as you are when it comes to manipulating these
systems.
If there is a document which has been written which specifically deals with
how to optimize Jaws for use with Windows 7, I'd appreciate having that
resource myself.
You started us off by indicating that the place to make such changes would
be in "Personalizing Windows" and that's fine, but where do we go from
there?
Any help in making Windows 7 behave more comfortably with Jaws 11 would be
sincerely appreciated.

What edition of Windows 7 are you using? If you are using Starter, you need
to do it through Display, otherwise you do it through Personalization.

Chris,
Can you provide me the steps to change the theme to classic in windows7?
Sometime, Jaws is providing us too much unnecessary information when alt
tabbing.
thanks,

The default Windows settings will work just fine for JAWS under
Windows 7. Personally I change the theme to Classic, however this is
personal and certainly not required. I just do not like the desktop
being in the alt tab list, plus I don't like it when I hear task
switching unavailable or whatever. Hope MS does not remove that in the
next version of Windows<smiles>.

hello.
You may recall back in the XP days there was a little document
circulating that recommended making adjustments to XP via various
options in the control panel such that, for example, all folders in
windows explorer would be listed as text without graphics, ditto with
the desktop and also allowed the Jaws user to set up things like
reverting to classic folder and other options.
Are you aware of any such document or procedure steps I could use on
Windows 7?
I ask because I just don't like all the graphical intense user
interface and life is lot easier with non graphical text based
classic interfaces while using Jaws. Besides Microsoft likes to
thrust all these changes with each new version of the OS that are
more and more geared towards the sighted user.
thx!
