Or just assign a hot key to Jaws and start it as needed. This is not a good idea to be completely depended on this. Shortcut keys are easily damaged. Especially if you have them in the all users folder. Startup group interys are far less susceptible to damage. So while having a shortcut key is a good idea this should not be the only means you have to start jaws. If you are using 6.x you can go to the run dialog and type jawsx where x is the version number and jaws will start so if you have jaws 6.2 you could type jaws62 and it should start. If you are a user that knows he is always going to need jaws anyway putting it right there in your startup group will save you a lot of trouble. Now on my computers if I allow others to use them then they can turn off jaws even if they have a user name. That is the long end and the short end of it Hth ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jim Grimsby" <jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx> To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, July 28, 2005 7:19 PM Subject: RE: Automatically Start JAWS > Hi, the easyist way is to put the jaws short cut in to your startup > group.
