Re: [JAWS-Users] Setting JFW to quietly open up a program
Hello there; why don't you just turn off the screen saver? - Original Message - From: Brian Lee brianl...@charter.net To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Sent: Thursday, September 23, 2010 1:37 AM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Setting JFW to quietly open up a program Hello Prateek, One way you can stop the application title and document name being announced when you start a program is by adjusting the verbosity settings in configuration manager. You can make the changes for a specific application or to apply as default for all programs. Use JAWS key with 6 to open a configuration manager for the application you are working in, and use CTRL+Shift+D to load the default configuration manager. With default.JCF open, use Alt with S to bring up the settings menu, and then press V to open the verbosity dialog box. Use tab key to move to the group of radio buttons from which to choose a verbosity level, and choose by using up and down arrow keys between the beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. With one of the radio buttons selected, tab to the settings button for that level of verbosity and press spacebar. You will be presented with a list of items. The top choice is for the application start message. It should not be checked. If it is checked then press spacebar to remove the checkmark. Press the letter D to move to the document name choice and make sure it is not checked. If it is checked then use spacebar to remove the checkmark. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Tab to the group of radio buttons and make sure the selected button is for the level you changed. Tab to OK and press spacebar. Use CTRL+S to save changes and close the program with Alt+f4. You can do the above steps for each level of verbosity if you want to so that the program and document names are not announced when you open them. You could write AutoStartEvents in individual program script files, but I think this way should accomplish what you are trying to do. However, I am not sure how the changes will affect pop up windows, screen savers, etc. Take care.

Turn the screen saver off, because jaws don't recover from some of them to well. At 12:53 PM 9/21/2010, you wrote: Win7 and JFW11.
