I use Windows XP with JAWS and, upon start-up, I have to pick from one of three log-in accounts. Having set up JAWS to start first, I can tab to the list of accounts and arrow down to my name and press enter, all this with speech.

Unfortunately, the short and simple answer is you can't. The only way around this would be to set up your computer so that it uses the older style login screen, a la Windows ME and earlier, or setting JFW up to start before you log in. A thread was going round on this list a while back regarding getting rid of the Windows XP login screen for purposes of making it more useable with JFW. In my honest opinion, it's more useable in general-I prefer entering my login info rather than looking for it among a list of already existing ones.

We just got our new computers and are hopefully getting a cable hookup on Monday. The problem is when I boot up I am presented with a screen that wants me to click on my name. Obviously, I can't do this. How can I access the computer with a keystroke instead of clicking on my name? Thanks, Judith
