Hi Josh, Thank you very much for the clarification.
As Flor pointed out, in a later post than yours, the personalized settings help file I had referred to was from an earlier build of Jaws 13 & I was totally wrong for posting that incorrect information. Thanks again for posting the correct info. Take care.

Hope it clears things up. Josh 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/training.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 visit a domain that has personalized settings. You can personalize many types of Web settings. For example: a.. Prevent Web sites from automatically refreshing, so the information does not reload and cause JAWS to read from the top of the page all over again. b.. Turn off graphic links on sites where alternate text is not provided or where the graphic links do not provide useful information. c.. Turn off heading announcement when headings are not used to structure information on a page. d.. Turn off navigation quick keys on pages that use certain types of access keys so the keys do not conflict. e.. Personalize Web settings for forms, frames, lists, and long quotations. Personalizing Web Settings Do the following to create or modify personalized settings for a Web page. Note that changes made are saved permanently to JSI files (for example, FreedomScientific.com.jsi) and do not apply to other Web pages. JSI files are stored in the PersonalizedSettings folder, which can be found by choosing the Start button, All Programs, JAWS X (where X is the JAWS version number), Explore JAWS, and then the Explore My Settings folder. 1.. Press INSERT+V to open the Quick Settings dialog box. Focus is in the Search edit box. 2.. Press DOWN ARROW to move to the Quick Settings tree view. 3.. Press P to move to the Personalize Web Settings group. If necessary, press RIGHT ARROW to expand the group. 4.. Press DOWN ARROW to move to the different options and groups within Personalize Web Settings, and press SPACEBAR to make changes. 5.. After making all necessary changes, press TAB to move to the OK button and then press SPACEBAR to save changes and exit Quick Settings. Sharing Personalized Web Settings There are two ways to share personalized Web settings: using Settings Packager or manually copying the JSI file. Settings Packager 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 then press ENTER. For more information on using this program, open the Settings Packager Help menu and choose Help Topics. Copying JSI Files Do the following to manually share your personalized settings with other JAWS users. 1.. Choose the Start button, and then All Programs. 2.. Navigate to the JAWS program group, and open the JAWS program submenu. 3.. A folder opens that contains all of your individual JAWS settings. 4.. Select the PersonalizedSettings folder and press ENTER to open it. 5.. Locate the JSI file with the domain name of the page that uses the personalized settings you want to share. For example: "FreedomScientific.com.jsi." 6.. Copy this file and distribute it to others. Those you share your JSI file with then need to copy the JSI file into their user folder on their computer following the steps above. They can now use that Web domain with your personalized settings.
