Well, I hd my Jaws in the system tray at work and someone body who used
my desk said they could not find it to get rid of it. My boss told me
to put it back in the rotation.
Of course now my boss is gone, and it is official that I am not supposed
to be sharing my computer so, I put it back in the tray.

There is one other advantage I can think of for having Jaws in the
system tray for many of us who share a computer with others as I do
mainly at work but also occasionally here at home.
Sighted people often do not like working with Jaws running, very
particularly on Web pages where the image jumps about following the
virtuous cursor. Visually and mouse oriented as these sighted people
very reasonably are, they can find jaws in the system tray and in the
language they use, "X" it off.
I have known some to mute the sound on the sound card which really
screws up access but that is another story for another day.

There is no definitive answer, because it's a personal preference thing,
nothing more, nothing less. If it's in the system tray (which has
nothing whatsoever, by the way, to do with the start JAWS automatically
setting), it's more out of the way, that's all.
