Hi Judith:

The hot key doesn't work at the login screen.  Also, the trick of going
to the start menu, then running the netstart jfwservice doesn't work
either.  Sounds as I thought that the best thing for this person to do
is re-start the computer.  I tried explaining that she should learn how
many times to arrow down through the user accounts to get to her
account, but she is not comfortable putting in her password without
speech.

Thanks,

Also, if the jaws user has a hot key to access jaws their life would be
simplified.  Judith
