Jim,
OK, you could try setting Jaws to run in a minimised window. Do the
following:
1. Press Windows+M to go to the Desktop
2. Press letter J until you are on the icon for the current version of
Jaws.
3. Press Shift+F10 to get the Context Menu and move up or down to get to
Properties
4. Press Enter and then Tab around the resulting dialogue box until you get
to an item called something like "Run".
5. Use your Up or Down Arrows to choose "Minimised" and press Enter
Not sure if this will work as you want but you can give it a try.
Jamie

Hi Jamie,
Thanks for the instructions. However, I didn't have JAWS
running from the System Tray before and as mentioned in my
last post, I never had the JAWS window appear as it does
now.
I seem to remember there was a setting somewhere, possibly
in Control Panel, that stopped the JAWS window from sitting
on top of everything.
Again, going back to my previous setup (pre upgrading to
JAWS 13), if, for example, I was working on line and wanted
to switch to an open Word document, I used Alt+Tab to jump
between the two windows.
Now, with the JAWS window getting in the way, I have to
press Alt+Tab several times when moving between the
Internet page and the Word document. If I need to carry out
this operation several times (which is usually the case) I
now end up with having to perform around 20 or 30 extra
keystrokes and my little pinky's are getting tired!
Any other suggestions gratefully accepted.
Jim

Hi Jim,
What I think you are getting is just the Jaws window and it
sounds like you
are running Jaws as a normal window rather than from the
System Tray. What
you are experiencing is perfectly normal.
However, if you would prefer to run Jaws from the System
Tray, do the
following:
1. Press Insert+J to go to the Jaws context menu. You
should be
automatically on the Options item.
2. Press Enter to open the Options menu
3. Press Enter on the Basics option to open the
dialogue..
4. Press Tab until you get to the item called ?Run Jaws
from System Tray?
and press Spacebar until this is checked.
5. Press Enter to complete the process.
When you next load Jaws, it will run from the System Tray
and there will not
be a Jaws application window getting in your way as you
describe. Remember
though, that you need to get to Jaws in a different way than
Alt+Tab as it
won?t be on the list of applications when you use this
command.
Regards,
Jamie

Hi Mujtaba,
Many thanks for these precise instructions and I apologise
for the delay in replying.
I only have one other task to perform to get my system back
to how it looked before updating to JAWS 13 and that it is
to remove the JAWS logo from appearing every time I close a
program.
In the past when I shut down a program I was taken back to
my Desktop list. I think its something to do with a command
of JAWS "always appearing on top" but I can't seem to find
where that is situated. Any thoughts?
Jim

Hi Jim,
Hit the start menu and then go to programs then scroll down
to the JAWS 13 program group sub menu, scroll down to where
it says JAWS and hit your application key on it. From the
options there hit enter on create shortcut send to desktop.
Escape out of the menus and then go to the desktop and hit
the J key till you hear JAWS. On this desktop icon hit the
alt and enter key. This should open up a properties dialog
box at the General page. Tab on this page till you hear
Shortcut key and in the edit box of the same hit the keys
you want as hotkeys to launch JAWS. After which tab to the
apply button and hit enter. Then tab around and hit enter on
the OK button, this should close the properties dialog box.
Insert F4 to quit JAWS and try hitting the hot keys you
specified to test if they work in launching JAWS.
To disable JAWS from launching at startup go to the
general/basics options for JAWS and uncheck the option that
says launch JAWS at startup. NOTE: You will have no support
from JAWS on your windows log on screen if you do this.

Hi Folks,
Using JAWS 13, XP Home and Office 2003
Can someone remind me of the key sequence for setting a hot
key for JAWS 13, rather than have JAWS start automatically.
