Hello, 

I am using Windows 10, Jaws 17, and have managed to switch to IE. 11 and Google 
on the start menu, but when I click on a link to a website in an email in 
Outlook it comes up Edge, and as you point out it is pretty much useless. Is 
there a way to change that so when I click on a link to a website it uses IE, 
please? 

Also my instructor has requested a screen shot of a form on a website , and 
when I tried snipping tool, Jaws announces “Snipping Tool”, but nothing else, 
arrowing and tabbing produces silence; any suggestions? 

Thank you, 

Kevin.

Actually, I'm willing to give FS a big old pass as far as accessibility and 
Edge goes.  Edge is not, in any way, shape, or form, a finished product.  It 
doesn't even have support for add-ins yet.  Also, Internet Explorer 11 is 
included with Windows 10 as well as Edge, but MS doesn't make a point of 
letting people know that.

Until Edge gets far closer to being a browser with all modern features FS is 
doing well to focus on those browsers that have them first.

Windows 10, too, was far from ready for primetime in July when it was released, 
but things have settled down quite a bit since then.  I'm actually amazed at 
how many software writers in general ignored the oncoming train that was 
Windows 10 and only started paying any real attention at the last possible 
moment or even waited until post-release to get serious.  Everyone knew this 
was coming, and should have been working on at least the basic Windows 10 
upgrades and compatibility issues long before its actual release to the public. 
 Insider and testing versions of Win10 were available long before the release 
date.

Brian
