Hi Jim, You know something, you don't have to belittle people here. I am not stupid, I have my system tray configured correctly. Don't treat me like a little kid that knows nothing. I have read the JAWS tutorials already and that is why I posted my question here. I don't need your criticisms you like to give to everyone here when you feel there questions are stupid. Just because some of us may not be as experienced or as intellegent as you may be is no reason to treat us all like children. Thanks, Rick ===== My darkness has been filled with the light of intelligence, and behold, the outer day-lit world was stumbling and groping in social blindness.

If you had your system tray configured properly you would have no problem. See my other message on this subject for direction on how to do this. Or even look at the jaws help file novel concept. jim grimsby msn: jim.grimsby@xxxxxxx email: jimgrims@xxxxxxxxxxx skype: jim.grimsby -----Original Message----- From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Rick Harmon Sent: Thursday, February 02, 2006 10:53 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: System Tray Icons Hi Michael, Ins-F11 works pretty well here 90+% of the time. I prefer to use the system tray and yes its easily messed up if you press anything other than what JAWS expects. I agree that FS needs to work on this. Its annoying for things to not work as expected or to work part of the time but not all of the time.

Jaws has a difficult time correctly placing focus in this window for some reason. About 70% of the time I can reliably select the firstor second option in this window. Anything below that and Jaws doesn't properly select the item that Jaws is reading. The only way I've been able to reliably access the System Tray is by accessing it on the task bar and I do it this way: 1. Open the Start Menu 2. Hit escape. 3. Tab over to the System Tray button. Jaws will only say button here. You'll know you've passed it if you hear Jaws say Desktop. 4. Press Spacebar. 5. Now you can either arrow down to the item you want or press the first letter of the desired item. Then you can either hit Enter on it to perform what is essentially a double-left mouse click or you can press the context-menu button to perform a right-mouse click function. Note: I know this sounds dumb, but you have to do this correct the first time. If you Tab over to the system tray button, press the spacebar and then accidently press the left or right arrow key, or even if you tab again after having selected the button, it seems to mess everything up. To correct it, I'll Alt-Tab a couple of times, refresh the screen, then start the process all over again. It's a hassle, I know, and I really wish Freedom Scientific would address this problem with the System Tray. If Insert-F11 can't work reliably, then why even have the feature?
