Jaws Key + Win + F4 or Jaws key + F4 will not close JAWS if a Sen Error Report message blocks JAWS from closing. This may not be an issue if you have sighted assistance on hand to respond to the error message. But if you don't, Kill Jaws offers another alternative.

For those who don't know about batch files and don't want to learn, you canachieve gaining easy access to KillJaws through Windows techniques. 1. Navigate to C:\Windows\System32/taskkill.exe, use tie application key, choose Send To, and choose Desktop Create Shortcut. Now on the desktop, you'll have a shortcut to Taskkill.exe. Hibghlight it and press alt-enter. This brings up the properties of the shortcut. The first control of the dialog box is an edit field to the path, and allows for adding parameters. Press End to go to the end of the line, after the .exe, his space and then paste or write /f /im jfw.exe Once you're done there you can tab twice and create your hotkey, then press enter to save. Just another way. I haven't been following the thread, so I don't know if this has alreadybeen answered: Is this process any better than using the built-in key in JFW8 or 9, Jawskey+win+f4?

I believe earlier versions of jaws when unloaded did not remove themselves from memory. Robert To find me you can do the following.
