Dwight, in using the task manager, the program can be ended but only for one time. Task Manager is only used when a particular program is being stubborn in closing in the normal way with alt+f4, alt+spacebar then c, clicking the close icon in the upper right corner (if the program has such an icon), or the program's exit, quit or close command. but to prevent a program from starting when Windows starts, most programs have a setting in it's options, preferences, etc. that stops the program from starting up
if Mike's steps give you a hassle, take a look around using my suggestion. -------- Original Message -------- From: Teresa Arroyo Llosa [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Tuesday, Sep 6, 2016 9:17 AM EST To: <[email protected]> Subject: [JAWS-Users] how do you stop start up programs from running Hi Dright, Perhaps the message is 'task manager' and not 'taskbar?' Go to task manager by pressing control+alt+delete. With control tab go to start aps. there, you wil find a list with your apps, if you tab you will find anable or disable buttons for each app. I hope this helps.
