Barbara, do you know if this is possible in Windows 7? I tried your steps
but what I hear is somewhat different than what you outline. Thanks, Tom

Copied this from blind training.com.
If you'd rather boot to the Desktop in Windows 8, this is easily
accomplished. Simply follow these steps:
Move focus to the Windows Taskbar with WINDOWS KEY-T
Tap Escape to remove focus from the application buttons
Press ALT-ENTER to open the Taskbar and Navigation Properties dialog
Within the dialog are four property sheets.
Move focus to the "Navigation" property sheet. Navigate among property
sheets with CTRL-TAB and CTRL-SHIFT-TAB. Since the "Navigation" property
sheet is the second property sheet, just press CTRL-TAB once.
On this property sheet are a number of checkboxes. Navigate with TAB and
SHIFT-TAB until you locate the checkbox labeled, "When I sign in or close
all apps on a screen, go to the Desktop instead of Start."
In Windows, checkboxes are toggled on and off with SPACEBAR. Toggle this
checkbox on.
Activate the OK button to save the changes. In the future, Windows will use
the Desktop as the default display.

Hi folks! I'm wondering if anyone has a suggestion for some good
JAWS/Windows 8 tutorials. I have a friend who just purchased a new computer
with Windows 8. I would like to help him, but I am not really familiar with
the Windows 8 lay-out. I've heard that there may be a way to change how
Windows looks, meaning the programs menu would look the same as it does in
Windows 7. Is this true? I would greatly appreciate any help you can
provide. Thanks very much!
