Hello Louis.
Here are some instructions that I found in the freedom scientific FAQ. For
unloading Jaws for Windows, in particular, user profiles in Windows 2000 and
Windows XP. This will allow Jaws to load, so you can have access to the
logon screen and then it will unload when any user has the shortcut below
installed in their user profile.

Question:
Is there a way I can have JAWS automatically disabled for the other users
who don't need it?
Answer:
I have a computer with multiple user accounts. I'm the only one who uses
JAWS. Is there a way I can have JAWS automatically disabled for the other
users
who don't need it, but have it run for me?
Other Details:
In Windows 2000 and XP, when JAWS is set to Automatically Start JAWS, the
program normally is loaded before the user accounts list is displayed. This
list
allows each individual user to start the system with his or her own set of
defaults, e-mail profile, and so on. Do the following to disable JAWS when
another
user who doesn't use JAWS chooses their account from this list:
Note: These steps should be followed for each individual account. It will be
necessary to log into each account and repeat this process. Do not do this
for the account(s) that will be using JAWS or JAWS will have to be manually
restarted when the system is running.
1. On your JAWS CD, locate the file named JStop.exe in the d:\Tools\Misc
folder. Here, "d:" represents the drive letter of your CD drive.
2. Copy JStop.exe to any folder that all users will access. One good
candidate is the Windows System32 folder and that location is assumed for
purposes
of the rest of this document.
3. Press the WINDOWS KEY to open the Windows Start Menu.
4. Press P to open the Programs menu.
5. Press S until you hear "Startup submenu."
6. Press the APPLICATION KEY, use the arrow keys to move to Open, and press
ENTER.
7. When the dialog opens, press the APPLICATION KEY again and use the arrow
keys to move to New. Press the RIGHT ARROW key to open the submenu.
8. Use the arrow keys to move to Shortcut and press ENTER.
9. In the Create Shortcut wizard, first type the location of the JStop.exe
file. In this example, you would type
C:\Windows\System32\JStop.exe (place file here for Windows XP)
C:\WINNT\System32\JStop.exe (place file here for Windows 2000)
10. Press the TAB key to move to the "Next" button and press the SPACEBAR.
11. In the following dialog, enter a convenient name for the shortcut.
Something like "Stop JAWS" is fine.
12. Press the TAB key to move to the "Finish" button and press the SPACEBAR.
If you ever need to remove this shortcut so that JAWS will run for all
users, repeat steps 1 through 6. Select the shortcut, press the DELETE key,
and reply
Yes to the prompt. The shortcut is deleted.
I hope this helps.
Chris.

Subject: XP profiles & Jaws loading
Hi List,
I am using XP home and JFW 6.1 and I loaded Jaws under my profile and
wanted it to start automatically. (which it does) But when I uncheck Jaws
to start automatically under the other user's profile, it also unchecks it
on my profile. Is there something I can do to make it come up when the PC
is turned on, but when they click on their profile Jaws does not
load? Much thanks.
Louis
