Just a comment, this does not always work. I often have items in my system trey that jaws 7x will not read. If I load jaws 6 several more items will be read than with jaws 7.

Assuming that you are using Windows XP with JAWS. Please do the following: 1. Go to ctrl panel. 2. Look for "Task bar and start menu". 3. In the "Task tab", press your tab key and look for "Group similar button check box". 4. Please uncheck the check box, space bar will do it for you. 5. Press tab key again and look for "Hide inactive icon check box". 6. Press your space bar to uncheck. 7. Look for the Ok button, to save the changes you made. Please let me know if your question has been answered. ----- Original Message ----- From: Patricia <mailto:bcsarah.fan@xxxxxxxxx> To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, July 05, 2006 8:49 PM Subject: can see why putting jaws on the system tray maybe wasn't such a good idea I put JAWS on the system tray when I was experimenting for others, but now it's no longer there. I've had icons disappear before, i.e. the battery icon (I'm working on my laptop) but it would come back after a restart. it's been awhile since I've seen jaws though. which isn't good, because now if I want to change anything I can't. all I want to do is be able to see jaws again so I can quickly put it back into the alt-tab rotation, where it belongs! -- JFW related links: JFW homepage: http://www.freedomscientific.com/ Scripting mailing list: http://lists.the-jdh.com/listinfo.cgi/scriptography-the-jdh.com JFW List instructions: To post a message to the list, send it to jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe from this mailing list, send a message to jfw-request@xxxxxxxxxxxxx with the word unsubscribe in the subject line.
