Answer - YES!
Make sure that you create a shortcut to start it again.
Also make sure that they don't turn the master or wave volume to zero, and
(in particular) make sure that they don't mute the master volume.

I usually tell sighted people to turn Jaws off if they're using my pc
because it tends to confuse them.
I just have to make sure I tell them to turn it back on before they leave
otherwise I'm totally stuck!
