None of those other power toys should cause you any problems with Jaws.
Don't worry about what Jaws tells you about an item in add remove.  Just tab 
to the remove button to uninstall a program.  After you uninstall the alt 
tab replacement, you must reboot for alt tab to work again as it should.
If you want an easier interface that also will allow you to save a list of 
the entries, download the program UnClean from the programs page at JFWLite. 
I believe there is also a helpful hint for it.

Thanks Debbie!

I see the following.  Will any of the others in the list cause me problems?

Alt-Tab task switcher powertoy for Windows XP
Calculator powertoy for Windows XP
CmdHere powertoy for Windows XP
Image Resizer powertoy for Windows XP
Magnifier powertoy for Windows XP

As I down-arrow through the list in Add or Remove Programs, JAWS says "list
box not selected" for each item.
What might be going on here?

Is there a way to save the list presented in Add or Remove Programs or is
there another/better place to find a list of stuff installed?  I'd like to
get rid of a lot of this junk, but don't want to mess things up.  So, if I
could save the list and discuss it with others, I might save myself from
myself.
