You can do this through the menus; Start Menu > All Programs > JAWS 12 >
Tools > Start JAWS with Eloquence. I think pressing Windows + r, for
the Run dialog and typing "jaws12 /default", without the quotes, will
work as well.
This will ignore all user scripts and personalizations for that session.

Dear Don,
Thanks so much for this input. Since my problems with Excel 2007 and
Jaws 12 are more of an annoyance than an inability to use the program
at all I will hold off on renaming my personalized settings folder for
the time being. BTW how do you get Jaws to run in default mode?

Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] latest version of jaws 12 with Excel 2007
Within the last couple of JAWS 12 updates, Freedom Scientific has
revamped the Excel scripts. They completely changed how they store
settings. If you had any personalizations to spreadsheets, such as
reading headings, these settings files will make the entire Excel
interface not work properly! They did a lousy job of informing the
user or migrating safely to the new settings. However, removing the
old settings and setting them up again is exasperating, but it is
worth it! The new Excel scripts are vastly improved! My poor
responsiveness problems completely disappeared! There are some new
capabilities of these features as well.
Either go to your User Settings folder (Start menu > All Applications
> JAWS 12 > Explore JAWS > Explore My Settings) and rename the
"PersonalizedSettings" folder or run JAWS in default mode. This will
remove all of the user customizations for Excel. Open the
spreadsheet you were having trouble with before. Hopefully, this
will make the Excel interface accessible again.
If you had other customizations, like for web pages, simply copy them
from the renamed folder to the new "PersonalizedSettings" folder.

Hello,
I was wondering if it was just me. I cant even get JAWS to read any
cells whatsoever in Excel 2007. The only way Ican read anything
when I open up a spreadsheet is to use the JAWS cursor.
