Well, doing the exact same thing hasn't worked for me, I'm afraid. If I try it again and it works, I'll mention it. When you say it works, I take it you mean that Jaws unloaded, as far as you could tell, because you couldn't get it to speak anymore until you launched it again? Just checking. Because after I've done exactly what you describe below, Jaws still speaks. Thanks.

It moved jfwkill.exe to my desk top and I then pointed to it and did a alt enter for properties and created my shortcut and it works fine. -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
