Hi Grant,
I didn't have just an add button under the start menu tab so I clicked on 
the customize button and found an add button there.  I clicked on that and 
typed Jaws6 in the box, but when I clicked the next button I got an error 
telling me that Jaws6 couldn't be located.  I then got out and went back in 
and instead of typing Jaws6 in the box I clicked the brouse button and went 
to the Freedom Scientific folder inside of the Program Files folder hoping 
to find the Jaws6 executable because I figured that's what it couldn't find 
the first time when I got the error but I couldn't find that anywhere 
either.  More help please?
Troy
