Debbie,
Thanks, that all makes sense, too, along with Marvin's suggestion for simply
adding a desktop icon. Truth be told, I have my browser running so much of
the time that simply alt tabbing into it and putting up the Favorites menu
isn't really much of a hassle, but as I said to Marvin, this sort of thing
always makes a nifty shortcut when all you're thinking is, gosh, I sure feel
like going to Amazon right now, but your browser doesn't happen to be
running and you don't feel like launching Internet Explorer, pressing
control O, then typing amazon.com into the address bar.
Thanks much.

There are several ways to get there, but we will go here this way this time.
Go to control panel, taskbar and start menu. and enter.
Control tab to the start menu tab.
You have two choice. A radio button for start menu and a radio button for
classic start menu.
Both have a customize button.
If you have the first radio button (xp start menu) selected and you enter on
the customize button then control tab to the advanced tab. Tab to the list
of items. press f until you hear favorites. Check it with the space bar.
enter on okay, okay.
If you have the second radio button (classic start menu) selected and enter
on the customize button, then just tab to the list, arrow down once and
check display favorites.
Enter on okay, okay.
Now the only problem you might have is if some evil program put itself on
your start menu and also used an access key of A. You might need to press
windows key, then A and then A again until you get to favorites.
But if nothing did, just windows key A should get to favorites.

Debbie,
I see about Windows determining which letter should activate the option.
But what do you mean by saying "if you have favorites to display?" I have
plenty of favorites, sure, but Windows hasn't given Favorites a place on the
first position in the start menu. Confused.

If you have favorites to display on your start menu, the letter A is the
access key put there by windows. So you don't have to assign anything, just
windows key and then the letter A gets you there by default.

Debbie,
I see. Well, I don't have Favorites in first position on my Start menu,
though I could certainly put it there if I wished. And I guess I could
assign any letter, not just the letter ay, but even f or whatever, to be the
operative one, the one you'd see underlined if you could, just so it didn't
conflict with some other f on the same part of the list.
Okay, just trying to get this straight. Always interested to learn about
shortcuts that may be available.

Don't feel bad, I got totally confused!
Say Current Line is INSERT+UP ARROW.
In a dialog such as MSConfig, this will often tell you if something is
checked or not, even if cursoring up or down to it does not.
Say All is INSERT+DOWN ARROW
Does a say all. Reads the document or window to the bottom, depending on
what cursor is active.
Insert tab. says the Window Prompt and the text that is in that window.
Read Current Window is INSERT+B.
This reads everything in tab order. Useful in situations where all
you might hear is okay button, but you know there must be more text in the
window.

I missed the earlier messages in this thread, so please forgive if my
question is too confused or confusing. But I have a comment, then a
question:
First of all, on those relatively rare occasions when I can't seem to check
a check box in an online form (I assume that's what's being discussed?),
Usually, it works when I simple turn off Forms Mode (Insert num pad plus),
then just use my up and down arrow keys to find that box and check it. Then
I go into Forms Mode again when I need to input text again into an edit
field in the form
But I have to guess maybe this question isn't about online forms? If so,
sorry.
My questions are to Jerry. First of all, how come you refer to Insert B as
Say All? I know it as the command to read everything only within a
dialogue, not as the Say All for general use, which of course is Insert up
arrow. And insert tab is a command I don't know at all. Is it a sort of
context-specific command for reading one line only within a dialogue?
Again, sorry if I'm misunderstanding everything because I didn't see the
beginning of the thread.

Jaws key B as in bravo is say all, but to read the line, nwhich is
probably what you want to do, is Jaws key tab. .

Hi
It seems like Jaws says unchecked when things are actually checked.
I
need to down or up arrow then back to the check to see if it is really
checked. How can I check without down or up arrowing? What is "Say
all"
Where is it? Thanks
Marsha Anderson
