I would say that the thumb drive aproach may not be the right one here and a
simpler solution may be at hand.
There is a special thunb drive version of Jaws you need to install on your
thumb drive and for machines that have not had Jaws on installed you will
need the video interceptor installer package as well on the same thumb
drive. Go to www.freedomscientific.com.
When you insert Jaws thumb into a PC it does not start automatically when
the drive is inserted. You have to wait about 10 seconds and then press
enter whcih will then start Jaws.
If Jaws is already installed/authorised on the family computer then the best
option is to follow steps below (once) to set up a shortcut for Jaws
(control+alt+J) so you can start Jaws independantly if it does not start
automatically.
Some situations may require that you unload Jaws from memory and then need
to restart Jaws. The easiest way to do this is using a shortcut key to
attach to the start icon for the software. Below are the instructions for
doing this.
There are two ways for you to create a shortcut for Jaws, the first is on
the desktop and the second on the start menu. If you find that the
keystroke you have assigned does not work on the desktop then you should
delete the desktop icon (for ease at least) and then us the second set of
steps to create it within the start menu group icon for Jaws. One of these
methods usually works.
1 Press windows+M to move to "desktop".
2 Press letter J until you reach the Jaws icon on the desktop that starts
your version of Jaws.
3 Press alt+enter to open the icon properties for Jaws.
4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J into
it.
5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it.
6 Before closing Jaws press windows+m to go back to desktop and ten press
control+alt+J. If after a short perdio hear "Jaws" and the Jaws window has
popped up this means you shortcut will work for you when you try it for
real.
Alternative method for setting hotkey for Jaws where desktop shortcut does
not appear to work
1 First delete the icon for your shortcut you set up previously or press
alt+enter and make sure in the "shortcut key" edit field that Jaws is no
longer assigned to control+alt+J.
2 Open start menu and press letter P for "programs", then press J for
Jaws.
3 Press shift+f10 for context menu and up arrow until you get to
"properties" then press enter.
4 Then tab twice to the "shortcut key" edit field and type letter J into
it.
5 Tab to "OK" button and press spacebar on it.
Notes: You can remove Jaws from memory by pressing insert+F4 and press enter
on the "OK" button. Then you will be able to use your newley setup shortcut
key to riase Jaws again.

Subject: [jaws-uk] re putting a copy of jaws 7 on to a thumb drive.
Good Morning All,
Can any one help me,
I have just received my upgrade to jaws 7 and wanted to put a copy of it on
a thumb drive so that rather than having to start jaws each time I want to
use the family computer I don't have to go thru the rigmarole of remembering
what to press I can just plug the thumb drive in and quickly gain access to
the computer.
If any one can help me I would be most grateful.
Many thanks in advance.
Regards
Christopher Huby
