It's possible this changed. The default is Windows7 Basic, & if you want to change it to Windows Classic try the following. 1 thing to try is change your Desktop Theme to Windows Classic. Before doing this, go to your control panel / Sounds link, open it, & control + tab, to, the Sounds tab, & check which Sounds Theme you're running. Changing the Desktop Theme can change the Sound Theme you're running. Your current Sound Theme should be highlighted. After you find your out what current Sound Theme tab to, Cancel, & press enter. Alt + F4 to close the control panel. Taking the Desktop out of the loop when using Alt + Tab. If you want to change your desktop theme to Windows Classic. Try the following: 1. While on the desktop make sure nothing is selected. Press control + spacebar until you hear not selected. You can also press the F5 key. 2. Open your context menu, up arrow to personalize, & press enter. 3. Press down arrow until you get to an item called Windows7 Basic. Right arrow to Windows Classic. Hit the enter key to make the desired change. 4. Wait a few seconds or until you hear an audio sound effect confirming the completion of this process. I would wait another 2 minutes or so as your computer is making lots of changes and you want to allow lots of time for the process to complete. Now, go back to the, control panel / Sounds / Sounds Tab to check your Sound Theme. If it changed, select the theme you want, tab to the Okay button & press enter. Take care.

It sounds to me you are saying Standard. MR. David F. Set up my computer when I purchased it. So not sure. So if you could tell me where to look and what to do would be great.

I know you have Win7, 64-bit, as do I. However, do you recall if you've switched between a standard Windows 7 layout or one that mimics the old XP layout, which I think Win7 calls "classic"? I ask because I vaguely recall that the desktop doesn't show up in the classic layout. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Geno9802 Sent: Saturday, June 25, 2016 2:50 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [JAWS-Users] Question on Desk-top and Icons Mike, I will try to explain a little better. I use to turn on my computer, per normal each morning. After doing my password and open the Desk-top Icons use to be easy to go to what-ever Icon I wanted. Or if, example, done working in Medical documents for my son, Outlook open, Internet open for the Portal. Of course ALT-Tab back and forth and of course the Desk-top Icons are usable. Now If I close out for Back up for "My Computer Works," Company or do a VIA computer to computer work with them, I am closing all programs I have open. It is at this time there is no jaws use on the Desk-top, for Jaws to function. So have to do the Windows key and Letter, M-Mike key-stroke and bingo it is there. I guess in my 66 and soon to be 67 I like the Idea of when closing out of all the programs, that the Desk-top Icons are "Visible," to the Jaws instead of doing Windows key and the Key Letter M as in Mike. I had this ability till I up-graded Aslogic Defrag and Aslogic Register cleaner. Now I had "My Computer Works," Company take a look at during my every two Months tune up with them, yesterday and he said nothing he could see with the installation in up dating either one. In fact of checking the Aslogic, register, which he noted some times that program chan change things, he seen no fault there. I just know I had the Desk-top Icons available to me till I up-dated both Aslogic programs. Does this make it a little easier what I am wanting back?

The question is some how on this Tower of mine, did a up-date with Aslogic and managed to mess up the Desk-top Icons, for Jaws to read them. Unles doing windows and Letter M as in Mike. So this is a Windows 7 machine and running the latest of registered Jaws 17. Any help in getting my Icons back all the time instead of doing Windows plus M as in Mike would be greatly appreciated. Need instructions where to go and what to do, thank-you in advance.

It is possible you are being asked if you want to allow the operation. This is not the User Account dialog (UAC), but I have seen this when first installing JAWS for the first time on some computers.
