Chris, looks like we're both on the same wavelength--I had just advised Judith
to check the run Jaws from system tray option in basics.
Glad you're on board though as I am going to bed now and won't be available to
help Judith until tomorrow afternoon at the latest.

Hi Judith
Ok, do the following to get rid of the JAWS window on the screen, if you
haven't figured this out already on your own doing some searching.
go to your JAWS window and go to options, and then basics...
when you press enter here, you'll get a dialogue box with a few checkboxes.
the one you want to check is, run JAWS from system tray. Check this box.
then go through the options and set things how you want them. If you're
unsure of what an item in the list is, press insert plus f1 and you'll hear
a description of the current item and what it does. then press ok.
Ok, now you should be bak at your regular JAWS window again. To get JAWS
to run in your system tray which will keep the JAWS window off the screen
but still running, you'll need to unload JAWS with insert plus f4 and then
restart JAWS. By default, JAWS puts a desktop icon for itselfon your
desktop, so before you hit alt plus f4 to restart, press windows key plus m
and then press j until you hear JAWS 7.0
Ok, now do your insert plus f4 to lose JAWS and then press ok to close
it. Now if you're focused on the desktop icon for JAWS 7, which you should
be, just wait a few seconds, and then press enter. In a few seconds, JAWS
should load up again, and then you should be able to access everything in
your JAWS menu a little easier with insert j. it'll pop up your different
JAWS menu items in a context menu.
Hope this helps.
