What an excellent post ray! No matter how advance we've become it all stands on our understanding of the basics. Keep them coming buddy. - Original Message - From: Ray Boyce [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: jaws-users-list@googlegroups.com Sent: Friday, January 19, 2007 8:32 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] Re: what is the system tray HiMaralyn 07 Introduction to Windows This learning module is entitled, An Introduction to Windows. This lesson introduces you to the primary controls of the Windows Desktop and how to navigate between and within these controls. We will also discuss how to modify the Windows Desktop for optimal use with JAWS for Windows. You can think of the Desktop as the parent window to all other windows. Each of the components of the Windows Desktop and the various programs or applications that you want to run on your computer, such as your word processor, e-mail package, or Internet browser can all be considered descendant windows of the Windows Desktop. As we move on through this tutorial, you'll get a good idea of how the hierarchy of Windows works. Currently, my focus is on the Windows Desktop, but there is nothing selected. If your focus is not on the Windows Desktop, please press LEFT WINDOWS+M. Okay, now that we're at a common starting point. I'm going to press the TAB key one time. TAB. Start button. To open, press ENTER. We hear JAWS speak, Start button. The Start button is what's activated when you press the Windows logo key. When you press spacebar on the start button or when you activate the Windows logo key, it opens a menu called the Start menu. The Start menu is where you go to launch all your Windows programs. We'll come back to the start menu later. There are three other parts of the desktop that I'd like to show you. To move to the next item, simply press the TAB key. Most of you will probably land on the Task bar. However, some of you may hear something like the following: TAB. Tool bar. Launch Internet Explorer browser button. A series of graphical buttons. Menus usually contain the same options. This is the Quick Launch Toolbar and it can be turned on or off by the end user. By default in Windows '98, the Tool bar is turned on. By default in Windows XP, it is turned off. If you landed on the Quick Launch Toolbar, press TAB one more time and you will land on the task bar. TAB. Task bar. To move through items, press LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. The task bar is where we can go to find out what programs are currently open on our computer. To navigate the Task bar, simply press the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys. I'm going to press the LEFT ARROW now. JAWS TAB. I hear, JAWS tab, and now I'll press the RIGHT ARROW. JAWS TAB. From this, we know JAWS is currently the only program running on my computer. If you heard something else, it means that you currently have more than one program running on your computer. For the moment though, we won't worry about that. I'm going to press the TAB key again. TAB. System tray. JAWS speaks the first icon. Use your left and right arrows to move through all the items in your system tray. Show how you wrap back to the beginning. Mention that you can move to the system tray in this manner, but it is much more efficient to use INSERT+F11. Press TAB again. TAB. Desktop. List view... Now we land with our focus on the Desktop. The Desktop list view contains icons, or shortcuts, that allow you to launch programs or access folders and files. As a Windows user, you can specify what shortcuts you want to be placed on your Desktop. Of course, we can easily remove these shortcuts from the Desktop, as well. When we first tabbed to the Desktop list view, we heard JAWS speak, Desktop. List view. So, moving to our Desktop gave us several important pieces of information. First, it told us that we had just tabbed to the control called the Desktop list view. Next we were told that the item we landed on in this list was selected or not selected, and it's name. We also learned that there were a total of ## items in this list on my computer, and that the focus is on the ## item in the list. Finally, JAWS' Tutor Mode instructed us how we could move in this environment. If the item that we're over isn't currently selected, any action we attempt to take regarding this item wouldn't work. Before we can take an action in a list view such as this, the computer wants to know which item we want to change. We could select the item that we're over by pressing the SPACEBAR, or by moving to another item with our ARROW keys as Tutor Mode instructed us. You can unselect an item on the desktop by pressing CTRL+SPACEBAR. Select the icon if needed. My Computer. Space As you heard, My Computer, the first item in my list, is now selected. I can move around within the Desktop list view by using my UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT ARROW keys. Throughout these lessons

Thanks, Ray, for that lesson. I just hope that, by opening your mouth, you didn't get zinged by the chairman fairy who appoints you when you speak up.

Hi Dave I did a search at Freedomscientific and I had to look through a lot of links before I came up with this. I hope it explains to list members where everything fits in the windows environment.

I'm figuring from some manual or another, just curious. I took a quick look and I don't think there's anything like this on my web site as of yet. I have had memory lapses in the past though.

[JAWS-Users] Re: what is the system tray
HiMaralyn 07 Introduction to Windows This learning module is entitled, An Introduction to Windows. This lesson introduces you to the primary controls of the Windows Desktop and how to navigate between and within these controls. We will also discuss how to modify the Windows Desktop for optimal use with JAWS for Windows. You can think of the Desktop as the parent window to all other windows. Each of the components of the Windows Desktop and the various programs or applications that you want to run on your computer, such as your word processor, e-mail package, or Internet browser can all be considered descendant windows of the Windows Desktop. As we move on through this tutorial, you'll get a good idea of how the hierarchy of Windows works. Currently, my focus is on the Windows Desktop, but there is nothing selected. If your focus is not on the Windows Desktop, please press LEFT WINDOWS+M. Okay, now that we're at a common starting point. I'm going to press the TAB key one time. TAB. Start button. To open, press ENTER. We hear JAWS speak, Start button. The Start button is what's activated when you press the Windows logo key. When you press spacebar on the start button or when you activate the Windows logo key, it opens a menu called the Start menu. The Start menu is where you go to launch all your Windows programs. We'll come back to the start menu later. There are three other parts of the desktop that I'd like to show you. To move to the next item, simply press the TAB key. Most of you will probably land on the Task bar. However, some of you may hear something like the following: TAB. Tool bar. Launch Internet Explorer browser button. A series of graphical buttons. Menus usually contain the same options. This is the Quick Launch Toolbar and it can be turned on or off by the end user. By default in Windows '98, the Tool bar is turned on. By default in Windows XP, it is turned off. If you landed on the Quick Launch Toolbar, press TAB one more time and you will land on the task bar. TAB. Task bar. To move through items, press LEFT or RIGHT ARROW. The task bar is where we can go to find out what programs are currently open on our computer. To navigate the Task bar, simply press the LEFT and RIGHT ARROW keys. I'm going to press the LEFT ARROW now. JAWS TAB. I hear, JAWS tab, and now I'll press the RIGHT ARROW. JAWS TAB. From this, we know JAWS is currently the only program running on my computer. If you heard something else, it means that you currently have more than one program running on your computer. For the moment though, we won't worry about that. I'm going to press the TAB key again. TAB. System tray. JAWS speaks the first icon. Use your left and right arrows to move through all the items in your system tray. Show how you wrap back to the beginning. Mention that you can move to the system tray in this manner, but it is much more efficient to use INSERT+F11. Press TAB again. TAB. Desktop. List view... Now we land with our focus on the Desktop. The Desktop list view contains icons, or shortcuts, that allow you to launch programs or access folders and files. As a Windows user, you can specify what shortcuts you want to be placed on your Desktop. Of course, we can easily remove these shortcuts from the Desktop, as well. When we first tabbed to the Desktop list view, we heard JAWS speak, Desktop. List view. So, moving to our Desktop gave us several important pieces of information. First, it told us that we had just tabbed to the control called the Desktop list view. Next we were told that the item we landed on in this list was selected or not selected, and it's name. We also learned that there were a total of ## items in this list on my computer, and that the focus is on the ## item in the list. Finally, JAWS' Tutor Mode instructed us how we could move in this environment. If the item that we're over isn't currently selected, any action we attempt to take regarding this item wouldn't work. Before we can take an action in a list view such as this, the computer wants to know which item we want to change. We could select the item that we're over by pressing the SPACEBAR, or by moving to another item with our ARROW keys as Tutor Mode instructed us. You can unselect an item on the desktop by pressing CTRL+SPACEBAR. Select the icon if needed. My Computer. Space As you heard, My Computer, the first item in my list, is now selected. I can move around within the Desktop list view by using my UP, DOWN, LEFT, and RIGHT ARROW keys. Throughout these lessons, we're going to encounter some list views that are arranged vertically, in which you only need to use the UP and DOWN ARROW keys to navigate. However, the Desktop list view is arranged in rows and columns, and since the Desktop list view is definable by the user, the number of times that you need to press the LEFT, RIGHT, UP, and DOWN ARROW keys is going to vary from
