How does one set up Win 7 to "classic view"?
It sounded like this may be similar to XP.
I did see "classic" under themes. Is this the same thing?
Thanks so much.
Rich

Remember, the biggest helper to you with Windows 7 is the way the start menu
works.
Just press your windows key and start typing part of what you're looking
for. Example, shut for shutdown. As you press the downarrow key you will
see different results, just enter on the one you want to execute. You can
always add more letters to the initial string by just typing them.
This is really great for finding a program, or a file where you know part of
the name but maybe don't remember which directory it is in.
Take my advice, I don't use it anyway.

This is very constructive advice so I'll get my guru over soon and we'll
do
it. I think we did this the hard way because we knew nothing about
classic
view. My neighbor came over tonight and she helped visualize the start
menu
so now I have a better idea of the layout and, yes, I found the shut down
.
I got so rattled about all of this that I couldn't remember how to turn
on
the computer! This, after having gone through win 95, 98, xp and now 7
and
all jaws since version 3. I need to learn to laugh more, don't you think?
Thanks to all who have helped. Marilyn

: Hello,
: Xp was great, but windows 7 is very accessible. What you need to
: do is have someone change everything over to classic view. This
: will make everything look and behave just like xp. I did this
: when I was using vista and use windows 7 now and my cousin did
: that for me. It works great. You don't even know it's windows
: 7. Give it a try and let me know how it goes.
: As a word of caution, if you are using an earlier version of
: JAWS, you may find that it is not fully compatible. I han into
: this issue when I got windows 7 last year. I was using a version
: of JAWS 11 that was not fully supported, so I was getting some
: error messages, but JAWS still worked. My cousin just called
: Freedom Scenentific and they let him download a newer update that
: fixed the problem. So like I said, use windows 7 in classic
: view.
