OK. When JAWS runs as an application, it will not speak at the log on
prompts, nor will it speak in any other Windows-based password
dialogues, such as when you unlock your computer. JAWS will also quit
before Windows shuts down, making you have no speech during the shut
down process. However, if JAWS runs as a service then it will speak
those, plus it will speak until your computer's shut down. Hope this
helps.
