Sorry, I don't think so. You can put JAWS in the system tray, but it will 
always come up when you press Insert+J.

Even if you go to the Keyboard Manager and  in the default configuration 
remove Insert+J as a valid keystroke, your kid could still press Alt+Ctrl+J 
or even type JAWS in the run dialog to launch JAWS.

To be honest, I think this level of "fiddling" with JAWS is healthy and I do 
it all the time, or I wouldn't know as much as I do about JAWS.

And then there are ways to "fiddle" with every other application, including 
the ones you want them to use. You're fighting a losing battle, I think.

Subject: Can we disable jaws menus?


hello,

i have interesting query.  is there any way we can disable jaws menus?
 this is a requirement for a kid who goes into config, keyboard
manager, voices, menus, etc.  instead of doing actual work on
worksheet, word, etc.

please suggest some method.

thanks,
prashant
