Joan,

I think this may be a Windows setting that's getting in the way of JAWS.
Try opening the Start menu and going into Settings submenu and choosing
TaskBar and Start menu. This will open a dialogue; Tab to the
"Notification area Hide inactive icons" checkbox and make sure it's not
checked.  If it is already not checked, then apologies for the wrong
steer!

The thinking behind this possibility is that while the checkbox is
checked, not all the system tray icons are on screen and I think that
can prevent JAWS detecting them when you press insert + F11. When you
use the Tab method of getting to the system tray, the hidden icons
reappear when focus arrives on it, so JAWS can read them without any
problem.

Hi, Folks,
Using Jaws 7, Windows XP.

I've recently found that when I use insert F11 not all of the items in
the system tray are shown. If I tab round to it from the desktop the
items appear.

Should I amend a Jaws setting somewhere?

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Joan.
