Hmmm, I gave up on unchecking that box every time I shut down quite
awhile ago. Most of the time I'll hear finder is running in the
background, and then I can alt-tab to the desktop. But sometimes it's
just silent and I haven't quite been at this long enough to know how
fast a MacBook air should boot up. <grin.> So I just wait till I get
bored and then try and see what alt-tab gets me. <grin.>

Hi Veronica,
Well, if I have the restore Windows at startup option checked, I'm
now getting speech. Since it's going to remain checked anyway, I
figure I might as well now leave it at that setting; it was
unchecked before. Unless I cannot re-boot, I close programs before
a re-start or shut down.

Sometimes VO talks and sometimes it doesn't.

behavior after speaking with an Apple rep. He stated, and it is
apparently the case, that one has to uncheck this box every time
you shut down or restart Lion. This might be why I have the
problem of VO not talking at system startup without bringing focus
to the Finder.

most annoying is that, by default, windows left open are not closed
when you quit an application. You can change this behaviour in
System Preferences. Go to the General pane and look for the check
box labelled Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps and
uncheck it. A quick way to find this is to use the Item Chooser
(VO-i) and type res to select only phrases containing that string.
Press Return to have VO go to the selected item.
