Hi Prateek,
The information I posted came straight out of the Jaws13 Help files! It
kind of makes you wonder just what is going on, when the help files they
want a Jaws user to learn from, are wrong! Take care.

Subject: [JAWS-Users] this solution is invalid. RE: J13 & Personalized
Settings For Websites
Sadly shift insert v does nothing in Jaws 13. Fs tech support confirmed
this to me earlier.
So setting personalized web settings for a specific Web site URL is a
mystery and may not even be possible anymore.

Hi All,
Below is the information I found in answer to my own question;
Personalized Web Settings
Personalized web settings allow you to make changes to JAWS that affect
only
a specific web site. JAWS remembers these settings and loads them each
time
you visit the web site again.
Personalized web settings apply to any page under the domain or subdomain
where you make the changes. For example, if you opened the page
www.freedomscientific.com/fs_news/index.asp and personalized the page,
changes would apply to any page under www.freedomscientific.com. However,
if
you made changes somewhere on shopping.yahoo.com, those
settings would not
apply to a page such as mail.yahoo.com because the subdomain is
different.
JAWS informs you when you open a page which has personalized settings,
unless you go to another page on the same web site.
To create or modify personalized settings for a web page, press
SHIFT+INSERT+V while in an HTML document. This dialog works just like the
Quick Settings dialog, except that changes made here are saved
permanently
and do not apply to other web pages. Press SPACEBAR on any item to cycle
between the available options. When you are finished, press ENTER to save
the settings. Select "Personalized Settings - All Cleared" and press the
SPACEBAR to clear all personalized settings for this web site.
Note: There are several options that are only available in the
Personalized
Settings dialog box. For more information on these options, see Changing
Line and Nonlink Text Length.
There may be some situations where these settings do not work, due to the
dynamic nature of the web. For example, if you change a setting using the
regular INSERT+V option, the setting will not be saved in your personal
files. The SHIFT+INSERT+V dialog will show the settings from the personal
file. This dialog always checks for personalized web site settings first,
whereas INSERT+V just displays the settings currently in use.
Remember that the two dialogs can show different settings. SHIFT+INSERT+V
displays the settings for the web site or domain. INSERT+V displays only
the
settings currently in use and updates the template of non-personalized
settings stored in memory.
Technical Notes:
All files are named .jsi, such as: Microsoft.com.jsi The last option in
Quick Settings labeled "Personal Settings" can clear all entries. These
.jsi
files are stored in the C:\Documents and Settings\User Name\Application
Data\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\X (where X is the JAWS version
number)\Settings\Enu folder and can be shared with others.
Sharing Personalized Web Settings
You can use Settings Packager to share your personalized settings for a
Web
site with other JAWS users. Settings Packager is a program that lets you
save speech and sound schemes, PlaceMarkers, and personalized
Web settings
in a compressed .zip file that you can send in an e-mail message, post on
a
Web site, or copy to removable storage media. You can also use Settings
Packager to import the settings contained in these .zip files into JAWS.
To
start Settings Packager, press INSERT+F2, select "Settings Packager," and
press ENTER. For more information on using this program, open
the Settings
Packager Help menu and choose Help Topics.
Changing Line and Nonlink Text Length
There are four options in the Personalized Settings dialog box
that do not
appear in Quick Settings (INSERT+V).
The Increase and Decrease Line Length options allow you to change the
number
of characters that JAWS recognizes as a line of text in the Virtual
Buffer.
The default is 150 characters. Select Increase Line Length and press the
SPACEBAR to increment this value, or select Decrease Line
Length and press
the SPACEBAR to reduce this value.
The Increase and Decrease Nonlink Text options allow you to change the
amount of text that must be found beyond the next link when you press the
navigation quick key N. The default is 25 characters. Select Increase
Nonlink Text and press the SPACEBAR to increment this value, or select
Decrease Nonlink Text and press the SPACEBAR to reduce this value.
