Remember Mike, you clearly stated in your original post that Windows 7 was
the operating system you were referring to. Other folks just assumed to try
it in newer systems. In the future probably include the note that what
instructions you are offering to the list have only been tested in whatever
version of windows you were using at the time.
With luck that might help in such matters or at least I hope so.

Hi Victor,
Thanks for letting me know about the Task Manager handling this in Windows 8
& 10. Since I run Win 7 I had no idea how my steps would work in anything
other than Win 7.
Take care.
Mike

That's because anything from Windows 8 and up, the configuration file does
not handle start up items, the task manager does.
It will only work from Windows 7 and down.

Mike:
I followed your instructions and when I got to the Start Up Page tab, I
could not arrow down any list. I pressed the tab button and still did not
find any programs list for start up. Any other suggestions? Thanks.

Hi All,
Note: The steps below were performed running Windows 7 & all JAWS versions.
For those of you that have Jaws set to start at the Windows log-in screen,
but it doesn't, this might work for you. I looked in, msconfig, & found
that JAWS Freedom Scientific wasn't at the top of the list on the Start-up
Page / Tab, so this is what I did.
1. Press, Windows key + R, to open the run dialog.
2. Type, *msconfig*, without the stars, & press enter.
3. Press, control + tab, until you get to the, Start-up Page / Tab.
4. I arrowed down the list, & unchecked any items above, JAWS Freedom
Scientific, on the Start-up Page / Tab.
Note: Only uncheck the items / programs above JAWS Freedom Scientific, &
nothing else. Pay close attention to what you uncheck because you are going
to recheck these items / programs shortly.
5. Tab to the, Okay, button, press the spacebar, & tab 1 time to, Restart, &
press enter to restart your computer.
6. Once your computer is booted up repeat steps 1 thru 3, & you will notice
that JAWS Freedom Scientific is now at the top of the list.
7. Now, arrow down the list of items / programs on the Start-up Page / Tab,
check the items / programs that you unchecked previously, & repeat step #5.
Now Jaws should start on the Windows log-in screen when your computer
starts. I did the above steps on 4 different computers, both desktop &
lattop, &I'm not going to say it works everytime, but it sure works most of
the time, which I can say is a damn site better than before I followed the
above steps.
Take care.
Mike
