LeDon,
Once you have set JAWS to run from the system tray, you just need to go back
into the Start Up Wizard and uncheck the box to take it out. The problem you
will find, is if you do not have a shortcut on your desktop, then you will
not be able to Alt Tab around to find the program window. If you did have
the desktop shortcut, you could then use Windows + D or M to take you to the
desktop, then press the letter J to find the JAWS icon, and press enter on
it to open a set of links to each menu. Then you can select the Help menu
and open the Start Up Wizard to disable JAWS from running from the system
tray. Without the desktopshortcut, then you should be able to access the
JAWS menus from the system tray itself, but I am not sure how to do this. It
would be easy enough to add the sshortcut as a just in case, and if you like
the way it works, then you could delete it at anytime.

Yea Mike,I do not have a jaws icon on my desk top. I start jaws when it
doesn't start by itself with the hot keys ctrl alt D. If I put it in the
tray would it be different. If I put it in the tray could I get it out? I
haven't tried it yet. If it only saves me one alt tab press, and that is the
only benefit, then I don't know if it is worth it. Well we'll see. LeDon.So,
I was wondering how that

LeDon,
Here's what happened when I tried it. JAWS still started at the log on
screen and after start up. However, once the computer had booted up, the ALT
+ Tab function did not work, and I could not alt tab from open program
+ to
program. I had to use the Windows key + D to get to the desk top, and
sometimes I would be on the desktop and not know it. Only by pressing the
first letter of the name of one of my shortcuts did I realize that I was on
the desktop. I can tell you, running JAWS from the system tray is not for
me.

Mike, I would like to try running jaws from the tray. So, how do I get it
there? When jaws is in the tray will it start when I turn on the computer
and boot it up? Thanks Mike, you are such a helpful fellow.

Hi LeDon,
Other than personal preference, what else can I tell you. Try it & test it
for yourself. The 1 thing I like is 1 less window in the Alt + tab order.
Take care.
Mike

Hey there, Mike . What is the advantage of having jaws run from the system
tray ? I have my jaws start up when I turn the computer on. But if for some
reason, like if I turn jaws off, I have the hot key ctrl alt J to open it
again. LeDon.

Hi Miriam,
Does Jaws show in the system tray? If not this is probably why the
keystroke, Insert + J, isn't opening Jaws options. Try the following to get
Jaws to run from the system tray:
1. Alt + Tab to the Jaws window.
2. Press, Alt + the letter O, to open Jaws options.
3. Press enter on, Basics.
4. Tab to, Run JAWS from System Tray checkbox not checked, & press the
spacebar to check this box.
5. Tab to, Okay, & press enter to save your change & close Jaws options.
6. Restart Jaws or your computer for the change to take place.
HTH
Take care.
Mike

Subject: [JAWS-Users] jaws menu
I'm using Jaws 13 and I wanted to get to the menu with insert J. It isn't
working. I wanted to turn Jaws off temporarily and turn it on again because
when I go to the links list, Jaws is only reading the first letter of the
name of the link. It does that occasionally and I find that if I turn Jaws
off and then on again, the problem is solved. But now insert J isn't getting
me to the menu. If I go to Jaws 13 on the desktop and press enter, nothing
happens either. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Miriam
