RE: shutting down.....
Hello, The announcement does not occur when I shut down my Windows 10 computer. Please keep in mind that since Windows 8, unless one specifically disables the Fast User Switching option, the computer does not shut down in the sense that we have come to understand the term in prior versions of Windows. Instead, the default shut down option in both Windows 8.x and 10 places the computer in a kind of hibernation mode preserving certain settings. In order to truly shut down the computer, in the classic meaning of the phrase, one must disable the fast-user switching located in the power options settings of the OS. Once done, (1) Jaws will no longer announce itself and (2) the computer will truly be shut down as it was in Windows 7 and earlier.

How To Stop Windows 10's Prying Eyes
Hello Everyone, I strongly suggest that anyone who has already installed or is considering installing Windows 10, read this article, the link to which may be found at the bottom of the text. Mark How To Stop Windows 10's Prying Eyes Windows 10 is here, and Microsoft's latest operating system is designed for a mobile-first, cloud-first future, as CEO Satya Nadella puts it. But that future relies on big data - your data - and by default, Windows 10 can track and share the websites you visit, the purchases you make, the places you go, the words you type, the things you say and more. You have the ability to control Windows 10's data collection, but it takes some doing. The installation process lets you customize privacy settings at the end or go with the defaults in express settings. We'd suggest taking the extra two minutes to forgo the latter and make your own choices here, or adjusting the options after installation, because Microsoft's default privacy settings might not be as private as you'd like. The first page of settings lists four options that you can toggle on or off, while the second page lists five items. All of them are on by default. Under Personalization, the first setting tailors your speech, typing and inking input to the way you talk, type and write ... by sending contacts and calendar details, along with other associated input data to Microsoft. The next setting sends typing and inking data to Microsoft to improve the recognition and suggestion platform. Must Read Windows 10 may do the impossible: help Microsoft win back the hearts of PC gamers Some people may be comfortable with this usage; after all, third-party smartphone keyboards like SwiftKey improve their autocorrect functionality by learning how you type. But for others, sharing contacts and calendar details may be a bridge too far. Next is a rather nebulous entry: Let apps use your advertising ID for experiences across apps. What this sentence doesn't quite explain is that Windows 10 generates a unique advertising ID for each user. If this option is enabled, it allows app developers and ad networks to profile you using that ID and serve you ads based on how you use your PC. The final part of the first settings page concerns location. Your computer may not have a GPS radio in it like your smartphone does, but if you're connected to the internet, your location can be tracked through your IP address. With this option enabled, you're allowing Windows and apps to request your location, including your location history. That's useful for location-based services like, say, telling a retailer's website where you are so it can give you the address of the nearest store. However, the location setting also lets Windows 10 send Microsoft and trusted partners some location data to improve location services. That part of the equation may give you pause, especially since you have no say in what Microsoft's trusted partners might be. (ExtremeTech reports that the Windows 8 installation process included a similar setting, but without the sharing of your data with so-called trusted partners.) Let's move to page two. The first toggle in the browser section enables Microsoft's SmartScreen Filter, which protects you against malicious content and downloads in Windows browsers - Microsoft Edge, which debuts in Windows 10, and Internet Explorer - and Windows Store apps. That sounds pretty good! Next is a setting for page prediction, which sends your browsing data to Microsoft to improve reading, speed up browsing, and make your overall experience better in Windows browsers. You may have a similar feature enabled in your existing web browser, such as Google Chrome. The next two options govern the way your PC connects to wireless networks, as part of a new Windows 10 feature called Wi-Fi Sense. The first setting lets you automatically connect to suggested open hotspots, while the second does the same for networks shared by your contacts. According to Microsoft's Wi-Fi Sense FAQ, the former setting relies on Microsoft's crowdsourced database of open Wi-Fi hotspots. If enough people get a good-quality connection from a hotspot, it'll be added to the database. The second setting is meant to eliminate the hassle of asking a friend for their Wi-Fi password when you visit their place. If enabled, the setting does two things: (1) allows you to select Wi-Fi networks to share with your Outlook.com contacts, Skype contacts or Facebook friends, and (2) lets your PC automatically connect to networks people have shared with you. The way this works is that Wi-Fi passwords are shared through Wi-Fi Sense. The passwords are encrypted, and Wi-Fi Sense only provides internet access, not file sharing access. But those encrypted passwords are stored on a Microsoft server somewhere. And there's no granularity: If you click the Facebook check box, Wi-Fi Sense will allow all of your Facebook friends to connect to networks you've selected for sharing. The

Hi, I've been following all this Windows 10 stuff with great interest, and I just have a question (with a lot of background first): So FS says you shouldn't use Edge, you should use Firefox or IE. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) You can't use the built in mail program; you should use something like Thunderbird or Outlook. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) And you should use Adobe Reader for PDF documents. (I'm doing that now in Windows 7.) Reviews I've read all seem to indicate that Cortana is iffy at best. So why should I upgrade again? I'm not being smart; I'd really like to know if I'm going to gain anything other than having a new operating system that I have to use in the same old ways. The only benefit I can see is that Windows 10 will be supported beyond January of 2020, where Windows 7 will not. Am I overlooking some wonderful new feature that should cause me to want to hurry and upgrade? Or does the old saying, If it ain't broke, don't fix it, apply here? I'd really honestly like to know if JAWS users in particular are finding anything beneficial in the upgrade, or if it's just something fun to do to your functioning computer to see if it will still function.

Cc: Brad Martin Subject: Clarification of my question, and thank yous Hi all, Just to be clear, I wasn't saying that anyone shouldn't upgrade to Windows 10, or that I never would. I'm sure I will eventually--quite possibly next year if it works well enough. The intent of my question was that with all of the new features that are available but which we can't use yet, I wasn't clear what I would gain by going through that process today, right now, this week. I have a desktop that's not quite two years old, but I've got lots of horsepower in it; it won't have any trouble meeting the Windows 10 requirements. Then I have a cheap laptop which is not quite a year and a half old, and it's pretty basic, but should also function fine with Windows 10. Both are running Windows 7. Both are doing very well for me. Nothing's slow. Everything I need for home and work just works. It's really a blessing. So the goal of my inquiry was to understand what great improvements I should expect from upgrading to Windows 10 right now. To this point, I haven't heard anything that's made me want to drop what I'm working on to upgrade my perfectly functioning machines before I go to bed tonight. It does sound like Windows 8.1 users may be very grateful to get back the Windows 7 functionality that Microsoft should never have taken away in the first place, and I think if I had 8.1, I'd be thinking more seriously about diving into the Windows 10 pool. On a completely separate note, I thought an interesting item is the fact that for a limited time, people who upgrade to Windows 10 will get a DVD player for free to replace their current Windows Media Center; but later adopters will have to pay separately for Microsoft's DVD player de jour. This would be compelling if I hadn't abandoned Windows Media Player years ago for the free VLC Media Player. Thank you to all who have contributed to this discussion. It has been most helpful. We now return you to your regularly scheduled program.

Personally, I can live without that. I've had a real struggle with the ribbons ever since I started to use them, and I think it's because virtual ribbons were checked. I wondered why NVDA seemed to handle the ribbons more effectively than Jaws, and now I think I understand why that was the case. In retrospect, use of the virtual ribbons caused me more trouble than they were worth. Perhaps FS will improve on that feature, but for now, I won't be using that feature.

The argument for not unchecking the Virtual Ribbon is this: JAWS put in the Virtual Ribbon for those who wanted to manually navigate the ribbons using the arrows and the Tab key. It is supposed to make the menus more accessible, but I haven't found this to be true in most instances. Brad was saying that people may say to uncheck the Virtual Ribbon without telling the person the down side of unchecking the Virtual Ribbon. This may be true. However, some of the techs at FS tell you to check the Virtual Ribbon, without telling you that this blocks the function of some of the shortcuts.

Re: Best email client with Jaws
Hi, Carolyn. I wanted to explain a little more in depth how to send an attachment in Outlook. 1. Find the file you want to attach to your letter. 2. Copy it to the clipboard with CONTROL plus C. 3. Open Outlook, and open a new message to the person you want to send it to. 4. Once the new message is open, use CONTROL plus V to paste the attachment directly into the message. 5. Press Enter, and begin composing the body of your e-mail message. 6. Send the message. That's it. The attachment will be in the message. If you want to verify this, go to your Sent Messages folder, open the message you sent, SHIFT plus tab until you hear it say Attachments, and check your attachment.

HotSpot Clicker error question
Hello, I had an old version of HSC and went to install the newest version. During the install wizard, I was prompted to click Uninstall previous HSC version, and I did this. Then the wizard told me it would create a back up folder. Now I open an application that I want to start adding scripts to, and I get a pop up error that says something to the effect, that I have a compatibility error, it lists the address to the back up folder I believe, and it tells me to open Script manager in JAWS, and save to recompile. I do this, but still continue to receive that error message. I'm using JAWS 12 on this computer. Any advice? Thanks much.

Upgraded to Windows 10 And Have a Question
Hello Everyone, I decided to take the plunge and upgrade from Windows 8.1 to Windows 10 Enterprise. I am delighted to say that all seems well, so far. I had to use Narrator during the installation because I began the upgrade process before reading the Freedom Scientific Windows updating page. I'm certain the process would have gone much more smoothly if I had but, what's done is done. During the upgrade process, I was careful to use the custom settings path, as opposed to the express setup, to insure that Windows 10 Privacy settings were adjusted to my comfort level. Left unchallenged, Windows 10 will attempt to tap into virtually everything you do and share that info with Microsoft. My question: Is there a specific Jaws user email list or forum for those using Windows 10? Or is this still the best place to discuss Windows 10/Jaws. Oh, one more thing, as yet, I have not installed any third-party apps on my notebook aside from Office 2007, which was installed prior to the update to Windows 10. While I own both Office 2010 professional and Office 2013 Professional, I see no reason to update to either since 2007 Professional works just fine for me. I hope you are all having a great day.

Speaking of privacy issues, Good Computer Guy told us Sunday that their company already had six calls for service, where Edge was contaminated by viruses.

Mark How To Stop Windows 10's Prying Eyes Windows 10 is here, and Microsoft's latest operating system is designed for a mobile-first, cloud-first future, as CEO Satya Nadella puts it. But that future relies on big data - your data - and by default, Windows 10 can track and share the websites you visit, the purchases you make, the places you go, the words you type, the things you say and more. You have the ability to control Windows 10's data collection, but it takes some doing. The installation process lets you customize privacy settings at the end or go with the defaults in express settings. We'd suggest taking the extra two minutes to forgo the latter and make your own choices here, or adjusting the options after installation, because Microsoft's default privacy settings might not be as private as you'd like. The first page of settings lists four options that you can toggle on or off, while the second page lists five items. All of them are on by default. Under Personalization, the first setting tailors your speech, typing and inking input to the way you talk, type and write ... by sending contacts and calendar details, along with other associated input data to Microsoft. The next setting sends typing and inking data to Microsoft to improve the recognition and suggestion platform. Must Read Windows 10 may do the impossible: help Microsoft win back the hearts of PC gamers Some people may be comfortable with this usage; after all, third-party smartphone keyboards like SwiftKey improve their autocorrect functionality by learning how you type. But for others, sharing contacts and calendar details may be a bridge too far. Next is a rather nebulous entry: Let apps use your advertising ID for experiences across apps. What this sentence doesn't quite explain is that Windows 10 generates a unique advertising ID for each user. If this option is enabled, it allows app developers and ad networks to profile you using that ID and serve you ads based on how you use your PC. The final part of the first settings page concerns location. Your computer may not have a GPS radio in it like your smartphone does, but if you're connected to the internet, your location can be tracked through your IP address. With this option enabled, you're allowing Windows and apps to request your location, including your location history. That's useful for location-based services like, say, telling a retailer's website where you are so it can give you the address of the nearest store. However, the location setting also lets Windows 10 send Microsoft and trusted partners some location data to improve location services. That part of the equation may give you pause, especially since you have no say in what Microsoft's trusted partners might be. (ExtremeTech reports that the Windows 8 installation process included a similar setting, but without the sharing of your data with so-called trusted partners.) Let's move to page two. The first toggle in the browser section enables Microsoft's SmartScreen Filter, which protects you against malicious content and downloads in Windows browsers - Microsoft Edge, which debuts in Windows 10, and Internet Explorer - and Windows Store apps. That sounds pretty good! Next is a setting for page prediction, which sends your browsing data to Microsoft to improve reading, speed up browsing, and make your overall experience better in Windows browsers. You may have a similar feature enabled in your existing web browser, such as Google Chrome. The next two options govern the way your PC connects to wireless networks, as part of a new Windows 10 feature called Wi-Fi Sense. The first setting lets you automatically connect to suggested open hotspots, while the second does the same for networks shared by your contacts. According to Microsoft's Wi-Fi Sense FAQ, the former setting relies on Microsoft's crowdsourced database of open Wi-Fi hotspots. If enough people get a good-quality connection from a hotspot, it'll be added to the database. The second setting is meant to eliminate the hassle of asking a friend for their Wi-Fi password when you visit their place. If enabled, the setting does two things: (1) allows you to select Wi-Fi networks to share with your Outlook.com contacts, Skype contacts or Facebook friends, and (2) lets your PC automatically connect to networks
RE: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
Well guys, I have tried windows 10 and jaws 16 in 3 different computers. One on a old computer from the Precambrian, the second a Dell i7, with 8GB ram, and the third a Lenovo desktop with an i7 with 8 GB of ram also. I have found several problems with jaws. Some times when I press insert f10, to get the list of windows opened, jaws reads information no updated, other times jaws reads things that were on the screen before, like dialogs or messages, but those dialogs or messages are already close when it happen. Some times on the log in screen, jaws reads default window, and nothing else, if I press insert tab, jaws reads again, default window, but I have no way to know where is the Pc cursor. I have to press tab several times until jaws catch the Pc cursor again. Sometimes alt tab doesn't work very well, and I have repaired jaws in all these computers. Conclusion, I uninstalled windows 10 in my all 3 computers, and I will not try to install windows 10 again, until news releases of windows or jaws appear. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Jim Hamilton via Jfw Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 1:17 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'

RE: shutting down.....
Hi Mark Where abouts would I go to turn off this fast user switching to make my computer truly shut down? Thanks Debbie -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Mark via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, 12 August 2015 6:26 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' jfw@lists.the-jdh.com Cc: Mark facebookm...@candleshoreblog.com Subject: RE: shutting down. Hello, The announcement does not occur when I shut down my Windows 10 computer. Please keep in mind that since Windows 8, unless one specifically disables the Fast User Switching option, the computer does not shut down in the sense that we have come to understand the term in prior versions of Windows. Instead, the default shut down option in both Windows 8.x and 10 places the computer in a kind of hibernation mode preserving certain settings. In order to truly shut down the computer, in the classic meaning of the phrase, one must disable the fast-user switching located in the power options settings of the OS. Once done, (1) Jaws will no longer announce itself and (2) the computer will truly be shut down as it was in Windows 7 and earlier.

RE: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person?
Hello Pablo, I'm curious, what method did you use to uninstall and/or roll-back Windows 10? Mark -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Pablo Morales via Jfw Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2015 6:19 AM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.' Cc: Pablo Morales Subject: RE: What do I gain with Windows 10 as a blind person? Well guys, I have tried windows 10 and jaws 16 in 3 different computers. One on a old computer from the Precambrian, the second a Dell i7, with 8GB ram, and the third a Lenovo desktop with an i7 with 8 GB of ram also. I have found several problems with jaws. Some times when I press insert f10, to get the list of windows opened, jaws reads information no updated, other times jaws reads things that were on the screen before, like dialogs or messages, but those dialogs or messages are already close when it happen. Some times on the log in screen, jaws reads default window, and nothing else, if I press insert tab, jaws reads again, default window, but I have no way to know where is the Pc cursor. I have to press tab several times until jaws catch the Pc cursor again. Sometimes alt tab doesn't work very well, and I have repaired jaws in all these computers. Conclusion, I uninstalled windows 10 in my all 3 computers, and I will not try to install windows 10 again, until news releases of windows or jaws appear. -Original Message- From: Jfw [mailto:jfw-boun...@lists.the-jdh.com] On Behalf Of Jim Hamilton via Jfw Sent: Monday, August 10, 2015 1:17 PM To: 'The Jaws for Windows support list.'

If JAWS does not return within a minute or so, I do a (you should excuse the expression) blind shutdown of JAWS, go to the DESKTOP, where I have already placed the focus, and reopened JAWS. Mind you, if a good pair of eyes is ready/willing/able, not to mention actually present, I am not shy about asking for help in case something is going on - un related to JAWS. However, when no eyes are around, it feels like the world has been shut off; so, I know what you mean by waiting for nothing. I usually try to find something else to do.

Jim, Pretty much hit-or-miss. It would depend on the Operating System + Video Device Driver + JAWS Version + Program Version + Unknown Gremlins. Very hard to duplicate symptoms with so many variables. I do know that JAWS 16 tendency to close and reopen without any warning is a bit of a thorn in my side. There are times when it won't come back at all, and I'm sitting there with my hands poised, waiting for nothing.

Dave: Very enlightening! For some reason, I never got around to, nor frankly considered, uninstalling previous versions of JAWS, and this may have proven to be far-sighted after all. I think that I may adopt your 3 most-recent version strategy myself. However, once someone moves to Windows 10, previous JAWS versions will not work - from what I gather. However, it may be a while before I upgrade to Windows 10. So, for now, are there some applications that typically misbehave with the latest JAWS offering? Or, as with many things, it is pretty much a hit or miss situation? Thanks.

Jim, As to previous versions -- simply because the current install is running fine, it does not mean that it will run so with all applications. I occasionally run JAWS 15 when JAWS 16 is misbehaving in a particular program. I delete versions older than 3 major revisions back, just to keep things simpler. And I still have all the executables for last revisions of all major versions going back to 3.5. Of course that's just my anal-retentive nature at work, having sufficient hard disk space to justify that level of insanity.

Perfectly normal!

Re: How To Stop Windows 10 from Sharing Your Bandwidth With Others Without Your Permission
Ouch. This is going to burn a lot of people who don't realize (1) they have a metered or capped connection and (2) other people are getting files from it. I have Comcast, and I have a 300 GB limit. I've never even gotten to 40 GB, so I wouldn't think anything of it until all these people start uploading files from me without my knowledge? Sure you can turn it off or mark your connection as metered, but most people aren't going to know that! Here's a more detailed explanation of what Mark's talking about. I don't like all this opted in stuff. You should have to opt in if you want it, not opt out if you don't. But that would require Microsoft to take your best interest into account. http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-10/windows-update-delivery-optimization-faq Brad On 8/11/2015 4:18 PM, Mark via Jfw wrote: Hello My Fellow Windows 10 Users, You know, I was becoming less and less enthusiastic about Windows 10 as it does so many things, in terms of sharing our personal information, and now, it seems, even our band-width without our expressed permission, until I discovered how to control it's somewhat hidden options.
