Hi guys,
I'd just like to mention that the instruction to set the Task Bar to stay on
top is just one of a whole list of Windows settings Freedom Scientific
recommends for using with Jaws, and I think that every Jaws user should find
that list and just make all those settings. It's been so long since the last
time I looked at that stuff that I can't remember where the instructions
are, but I'm pretty sure they're in more than one place. I confess that, in
hopes of providing directions to this list of things you're supposed to set
in Windows to make Jaws work properly, I've just left this message half
written and poked around both Jaws Help and the Jaws headquarters section of
the Freedom Scientific site, and I can't find any reference to this list.
But I swear there is such a thing, and it isn't some really esoteric, secret
tweak idea or anything. I'll bet someone on this list who's a little more
methodical about things than I am, which is a lot of you, know where to
find this list of instructions and would post how to find it. Which I think
would be a good idea if a question like this has come up and no one has
mentioned that such a list exists. In fact, there ought to be a permanent
link to it in the extensive list of Jaws resources that comprise the
listserv sig at the end of every message here. IMHO, of course. :-)

Hi Dan,
Here is something to look for since I had the same problem here sometime
ago.
I opened the control panel and double-clicked on "Taskbar and start
menu".
Then, I unchecked the "Auto-hide the taskbar" checkbox.
In order to be sure I'll get insert+f11 everywhere, I then checked "Keep
the taskbar on top of other windows".
HTH. have a nice day. Chris

Subject: Jaws and system tray
I have noticed a problem with this for some time now. If I have any
program windows open other than the command prompt window Jaws can't
seem to access any of the items in the system tray. If command prompt
or not other program windows are open then Jaws accesses the system tray
items just fine.
Does anyone have any ideas why it is doing this? Does anyone have any
ideas on how to remedy this issue?
Thanks.
Dan Beaver
