RE: can someone explain the jaws running as a service?

Think of a service this way.  By default, Windows loads up your desktop,
system tray, taskbar, and other controls.  These Windows components will
start up with any user logs on to the machine.  JAWS running as a service is
the same thing. 
 
The startup option only starts JAWS when that particular user logs on the
system. Let's say I log on to the system and I have JAWS loading up only
with my account.  You log on the system, but JAWS isn't set to come up with
startup.  If JAWS was set as a system service, JAWS would come up for both
of us, and not just one user as startup would have it do.

For the command line options, jaws6 /default will bring up JAWS with the
default options set to the factory defaults.
 
I hope this helps.

Follow-up question:  When you run an application as a Additional question: 
If you run an application on startup, does that alone make it a service? 
Because putting Jaws in the startup group doesn't prevent it from displaying
a user interface, though that interface displays differently (or so it
seems) depending if you run it from the task bar or the system tray?

thanks.
