Well, there is a jfwkill.exe file, but there's a much better way of doing
things; through the net command.
I've created 2 shortcut key combinations which use the below commands to
load and unload Jaws as follows:
net start JFWService
Net stop JFWService
I personally use hoekey, however the built-in windows shortcut keys should
work. So now, if Jaws misbehaves, I can kill it in one keystroke and
reload it with an other.
Cheers,
Martin
