                        Hi all
Found this on the SnowmanRadio.com website and thought it may assist others.
2 things of note:

1.  Be sure to save this e-mail, you may need it later. I repeat, save this 
e-mail, you never know if you'l need it again.
2.  Before following the directions below, make sure that you are 
comfortable with the JFW script manager and adding scripts, or things could 
get, eh, rather messy. So it might not be a bad idea to back things up to 
another folder just in case. Here's the tip to find the JFW user settings 
folder with a simple script.


Finding The User Settings Folder

Here is how to find the user settings folderfor JAWS 6. Paste the following 
simple script into your favorite script file, and then attached your favorite
hot key to this script. I made mine a part of the default script file. This 
script will place the path to the user settings folder on your windows 
clipboard.
After running this script, you can then just press control+v to paste the 
path in an edit field if needed, such as when unzipping an archive.

Script LearnSettingsFolderPath ()
var
string s
Let s = GetJAWSSettingsDirectory ()
CopyToClipboard (s)
SayString ("user settings path is now on the clipboard")
EndScript

Copy the above lines to your clipboard. Open the default script file with 
insert+0 on the numbers row. Go to the bottom of the file and paste this 
script.
With the cursor inside this new script, press control+d to edit the 
documentation. Tab to the hot key input box, and press your favorite hot key.
then
press ok. Now, recompile the default scripts with control+s. Your new 
script should now be ready to use. Although, if it doesn't run, try 
restarting JAWS.

Those are the directions. If you're confused about a hot key, i personally 
use control plus u for user settings folder, but you can use any hot key 
you like, just so long as it's not already being used.  If you do this, 
pressing control plus u will put the path to the user settings folder on 
the clipboard. JAWS will say, "user settings path is now on the clipboard.

and if I press control plus v, like so, you will see that the path to it 
is: C:\Documents and Settings\user\Application Data\Freedom 
Scientific\JAWS\6.0\Settings\enu
Makes it very easy when unzipping archives so you won't have to go digging 
5 layers deep for things.


Hope this helps some folks out there.
