cdh: This is one of the reasons FS gives for this behavior and it is sort of
true but it's not the primary reason for needing to start twice. For a variety
of technical reasons, JAWS needs to run with kernel privileges at the login
prompt. Running as administrator all of the time, however, would be dangerous
so it, once you've logged in, needs to restart in your user space to prevent
you from doing anything too terribly destructive to your own system and costing
them technical support calls.
