Re: [JAWS-Users] speaking of IE
Hi Bill, If both computers are both Widows 10 computers, don't take my answer with 100% surity since I don't run Widows 10, but in past Windows systems you could simply highlight /select the whole Favorites folder from the old computer, press, control + C, to copy it, & paste the whole Favorites folder to a flashdrive, then plug the flashdrive into the new computer, copy / cut the Favorites folder from the flashdrive, & paste it to the appropriate User folder on the OS drive. Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Are there any recommended settings in file explorer in W10?
Jim, Try to run jaws from the system tray, instead than from the desktop (Jaws option menu). Waite, there was an update to windows 10 today and Tuesday there is going to be another one. Check your MSCONFIG on what is starting at start up, I admit is a little more confusing and different than on wind 7. It's very important to shut down the PC at night correctly, when you shut down, Because Windows 10 snaps an image of your system at the time that was running, so when you start up it should be faster I experience that here to sometimes, but as long as it comes on, I don't worry... Press windows key and tab across to the navigation drop down list and Arrow down to power-enter and arrow to shut down-enter, there are other options as restart sleep. Or,I would be calling the jaws voodoo doctor Mike B. The doctor has a potion for every jaws sickness in his bag of potions (SMILE.)

Re: [JAWS-Users] Thunderbird Blind scripts
Hi Wow! Now there's a word from the past! My dad used and like Eudora until they went belly up, or open source. Then he switched to web mail with gmail as I did, until I lost my vision. I still use gmail, but with Thunderbird. Once I changed two settings in the advanced settings section where you have to promise to be careful, and installed the Select Inbox add in, I've found to be a very usable email client. It isn't perfect, but it is far better than anything else I've looked at. Cheers! On 12/9/2016 1:49 PM, Jim Pursley wrote: Dunno, I don't use them either.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Jaws 18 and internet explorer 11 problem
IMHO I go back to JAWS 16 whenever I remember to do so. I hate the poor performance when using IE 11.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Posting to this List
I would also like to add on to what Rick has stated that this is becoming very tiresome to me, so much so that the parties in question will be removed if they continue their cross posting practices. The fact is no matter who would try and cross post a message it would get held for approval. That means who ever of the three of us gets to it first has to open and read the message from Mailman as to why the message is being moderated. Then the next step is to approve or deny it. This takes some time especially when a person sends out four or five messages all cross posted. I read every message that comes across this list and some days that gets to be quite a task, but it is important to make sure things are going as they should. I don't mind that, it's just this extra work of always having to kick messages is got to stop. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program. -Original Message- From: Moderator Sent: Friday, December 9, 2016 8:20 AM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: [JAWS-Users] Posting to this List Recently we have encountered quite a few messages held for approval, due to cross-posting.
