Looking over your steps, I wonder why you close the main IE window before the download has completed. Sometimes doing so can interrupt the download, which happens, for example, on the BARD website. Besides, if you plan to continue using IE, you could resume from that window. Kimsan's control-t from the downloads window might also work, but I haven't tested it.

Using windows 10 and latest build of jaws 17 I have internet explorer on my task bar. I opened internet explorer and went to a website I frequent and I clicked to download a file. I click alt n and save my file. I click alt n and I click view downloads. I alt tab and click control w to close the website which I originally visited to download my file. I minimize the window that shows the download and it's progress. I brouse through email and I decide to go back to the internet to search for something. Here's the problem. I go to the task bar and now internet explorer isn't there, it's replaced by the window that's downloading, how can I open a new tab in internet explorer? I tried to access some sort of file tab to find an option to open a new tab but no such luck. Any ideas? I hope I've explained my situation properly, and I hope I haven't confused you guys too much. Thanks for any help provided in advanced.
