Hi all,
I've recently discovered that there is a way to manually start JAWS as a
service using the JAWS shortcut placed on the desktop once JAWS is
installed. Here's how to do it:
1. Go to the desktop with Windows M
2. Press j until JAWS <version> (where <version> is the version(s) of
JAWS you've installed, such as JAWS 8.0).
3. Press alt enter to open the JAWS properties. The JAWS properties
dialogue box appears, with the target edit field in focus.
4. Delete what's in the target field and type the following, exactly as
shown:
net start jfwservice
5. Press enter.
6. Press F5 to refresh your desktop.
To test this:
1. Unload JAWS with insert F4 and enter.
2. Go to the desktop and press enter on the JAWS icon whose properties
you have modified.
3. Although JAWS will load as expected, you'll notice that unlike the
regular shortcut that's placed after you've installed JAWS, JAWS will
speak even after you've logged off windows!
Hope this tip is of some use! David, you may want to put this up on your
site for those who are interested. Enjoy!
