Hi Amro,
Agree with you re the Program Files directory.
The question I had is regarding the remove license information option in
Jaws Tools menu. Does this actually return a token back to the FS
server, or just remove the authorisation code from the hard drive? I
thought it only did the later, and so never bothered with it, always
renewing the license when I needed to do a fresh install from
fsactivate.com, then reseting the activation numbers (as it was usually
1).
Andrew.

Hi Andy,
In addition to what people have said, you can remove the activation
license=20
code from your computer before formatting. To do this, open the Start
menu=20
and go to the JAWS program group. Then, open the Tools submenu and
choose=20
Remove Product Activation.
The other thing, you said,
"I've been looking
through my installed programmes, and I've got several programme files
I have backed up".
If I may ask, why did you pack up files from the (C:\Program Files\)=20
directory? How are you going to use these files after the new XP=20
installation? My understanding that these files are used by the
operating=20
system for the installed programs to function, and you shouldn't,
generally,=20
mess up with them. They will be freshly created when you reinstall your=20
programs after the reinstallation of XP. I've never had to pack up any
of=20
these files before formatting my hard drive. Unless you want to back up
your=20
Jaws Bookmarks - you can do that using the Jaws Settings Packager
utility as=20
well.
My two pence worth!
Cheers,
Amro
