Hello, although I haven't got vista on this system, I have plied on others that do. If I alt tab between programs desktop is listed as one of the programs opened unlike on any other previous operating systems. So for example, if I only have internet explorer opened in XP and I alt tab nothing will happen as that is the only program currently running. However, take same scenario on vista, if I alt tab it'll switch between IE and the desktop. Is there a way to change this so the desktop only appears when you manually bring it up by start+m or start+d rather than for it to be listed as a running program?Not sure if this is a jaws issue, but I wouldn't imagine it is.
