Hello Justin,
Below is recommendations for customizing your desk top.
I'll do some more research for other settings.
sincerely, Cheryl
Do The Following To Customize The Desk Top:
1. Go to the start menu, then arrow down to control panel.
Depending
on how your computer is set up, you may have to arrow down to settings,
press enter, then press enter on control panel.
2. Press "d" until you hear "display," then press enter.
3. Hold down the control key and press tab one time. You'll hear
"Desktop" or "desktop tab." Then, release the control key and tab until
you get to the "customize Desktop Button" and press enter.
4. You have a list view of the things you can have on the desktop such
as the My Documents, My Computer and My Network Places icons. Select
which one(s) of these you want to keep or remove by pressing the space
bar on each of them. Once you have made all of the changes you want
too, press tab until you get to the "ok" button and press enter.

Subject: Ideal System settings for JAWS
Hi all
I am a new guy to this list and I have a question about my version of jaws
that I have just installed on a new windows box.
I Have used jaws since I was in the sixth grade, I am in college now, but I
never really had anyone go over with me the ideal system settings for the
program while I have constantly had trouble with it not reading stuff in win
explore and word every time I would have it on a newly installed system.
Anyway, could someone tell me the best system configurations for jaws to work.
I am having trouble with this on my new system.
I do remember that there were a bunch of places where i had to set to
standard view or win classic. Moreover, I remember one tech guy telling me
that windows XP has a driver preinstalled to run across two monitors. This
driver supposedly interfears with jaws and needs to be disabled. I wonder if
this could be my problem. Has anyone here heard of such a driver and would
they be able to tell me where it is?
By the way I am running jaws 7.0 with I believe a win XP educational edition.
For what it matters.
