This is resolved in Windows Vista and higher. For XP, there isnt a way to restart a service, like JAWS, when a user is logged out of the system.

Subject: JAWS doesn't read login screen after user logs out


We are running a network license of JAWS in an Windows Active Directory
environment with many users. JAWS is set to start automatically on
reboot, however, when a student who does not require JAWS exits the
program and logs out, JAWS is not available to read the login screen.
Should a vision impaired  student need to use the workstation they will
either attempt to enter their credentials or have to seek assistance. Is
there a way to restart JAWS as a service on logout? The only option
currently seems to be forcing the machines to reboot when someone logs
out. I know windows narrator is another option but would rather set
something up with jaws.
