Disk Cleanup
Defragmenting your computer periodically can greatly enhance the computer's
performance. While helpful, all defragmenting does is tidy up what is on

I've never tried it out myself. Normally I use auslogics disk defragmenter
here. I believe it does fine and it shuts down the system when it's done
automatically.

Hi Kathy,
Think of it this way:
Since we have to rely on what the program tells us, and we can't really
dispute the results,
then all that remains, is to find what works best with Jaws, and we are
comfortable using.
The important thing is that you run maintenance on a regular basis.
HTH,
Rick
But how often should you defrag your hard drive? There is a lot of
controversy on this issue. In the old days when hard drives were much
smaller, it was necessary to defrag fairly frequently. But today's high
capacity drives probably require less frequent defragging. I have read that
I pretty much agree with Gerald. Back in the day, I would defrag my hard
drive regularly, especially when I had everything on one partition. Now
that my drives are little used, I mean, some of the partitions are less
than 25% used, I defrag much less often. On my system partition, and
On the auslogics disk defragmenter there is also a boost speed to download
do I use this too.

I read some ware that you should do it every month. Hold on a minut, if

them? Hm, makes you wander doesn't it?

I find that JAWS 13 appears to be crashing quite a bit. Also the
windows B button is not providing all the information on the system tray.
I'm back to JAWS 12.

although this is a good place to bring up issues,
the best thing to do is contact tech support. if these issues don't get
reported, then of course they won't get fixed.

I'm using the same configuration as you but have XP rather
than Windows 7. Tried your key stroke and got nothing. I
also tried putting JAWS in help mode and using that key

Defragging is available for any drive. Unless you delete a lot of programs
and large files, defragging isn't necessary on a frequent basis. You need
to balance the benefit of slightly quicker file access on a defragged disk
against the extra disk activity generated by the defrag process.

Using Windows XP here JAWS 13 seems to be working fairly
well. The Windows Key and B seems to read everything in the

Using windows key and b produced a short system tray list with mouse in each
subsequent line. Wierd. So I closed that and then did insert plus f11 to
check system tray and found my former system tray list. Wierder than wierd.
So just now I returned to system tray and found only four entries.

Hi,
This may be a real stupid question but I'm sure people here have more than
one jaws version installed.
I am wondering what do yall do for the keystroke so it will not be in
conflict with lets say a word keystroke or anything else for that matter?
Of course there are no right or wrong

How often disk defragmentation is needed will vary from user to user,

Since it is such a huge debate, I will just say that I follow a weekly
