Hello JAWS-UK listers.
I haven't posted for a while but I noticed this topic.
In Windows 8.0 and 8.1 there are actually two versions of Internet Explorer
present. There is the touch based Modern app which is if little practical use
to JAWS users. The other is the regular Internet Explorer with all the
features you know and expect. However which you get depends on where you start
it from.
If you have a desktop or taskbar icon you will get the full Internet Explorer
you know. However if launching from the start screen Windows will assume you
mean you want the touch based version.
If you wish to avoid this situation you can also tell Windows you always want
the full Internet Explorer.
1 Open "Control panel" (you can search for it in the start screen).
2 Then choose "Internet options".
3 Press CONTROL+TAB to reach the "Programs" page.
4 There in the drop down select the option "Always use internet Explorer
on the desktop".
5 Press TAB and also check the box "Open internet explorer tiles on the
desktop".
6 TAB to "OK" and press SPACEBAR on it.
Now internet Explorer full version whatever you do.
Another quick tip that has really bugged me is having to use the charms bar to
shut down. With Windows Windows 8.1 you can avoid it if you like for this
task. Is to use the Windows+X keystroke which with the new Windows release has
"Shutdown" available on it. This you can use to good effect by the following
method:
Windows+X then letter U and U again to shutdown or
Windows+X then letter U and then R for restart
Hope this helps.
Regards.

Hi,
If you used the context menu on the IE app and say add to task bar, when
you go to the task bar and select IE10 you will get the normal menus.
