Thanks for this David. I was the original poster and I didn't know about
the "Optimize for Blindness" either. I've looked through it and changed the
time to 15 seconds. I also found this Java textbridge option but did not
know what to do with it.
Anyway, there was lots of good stuff there and for the deaf, and others, as
well.
David

Thanks David,
Out of curiosity, how long do they stay open by default? This is the first
I'd heard of an 'optimise for blindness' page. I suspect that it's a
well-kept secret for most blind computer novices. Does the information
about the 'Optimise for blindness' page need to be more prominently
available to blind people themselves? If so, does anyone fancy writing an
overview article on what's on the page, for posting on BCAB website?
Best,
Clive

Hi David,
to click a notification balloon press numpad slash (I presume it's CAPS
LOCK+8 on laptop layout, but haven't tried this.)
To modify how long balloons stay open:
1. To open the "use the computer without a display" page of the Control
Panel, type optimize for blindness into the Start menu search box, and press
Enter. Alternatively, open the Ease of access center either using the Start
menu search box or by pressing Windows Key + U, then Tab to the Use the
computer without a display link, and open it.
2. On this page there's a “How long should Windows notification dialog boxes
remain open?” combo box. Set the time that you want, and then Tab to the OK
button and press it.
David.

remind me how?
Using Windows 7 and Jaws 16.
