Roger,By "replace" you mean correct the spelling? Thanks, but I just did and that didn't help, either. In fact, that window no longer flashes when I click on the icon. Here is the corrected line from the batch file, which as I said, Icopied directly from what was provided early in the thread by someone. I deleted the "a" from the filename: : tskkill /F /IM jfw.exeMaybe one of the other suggestions that were provided in this thread uses apath to the file? Because I believe one version of this that I saw earlierincludes a path under c:\ involving a few numeraals. So please look again atthe above line and consider that it might give the batch file incorrect directions? Thanks. I wish I could remember the more complex filename I saw for this file earlier, but I can't. long a different path----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Levine" <rlstation@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>To: <jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Sent: Thursday, June 26, 2008 9:05 AM Subject: Re: killjaws.bat, not sure if I did it right Hi,If you are using XP home, then replace "taskkill" with "tskill".

Then I went to the new icon, went into its properties, and created a hotkey for it so I could invoke the batch file next time Jaws lost speech. So far, so good. But when I pressed my hotkey combo, nothing happened. I checked to see if my hotkey had held, and it had. I went to the desktop, focused on the icon, and pressed Enter to activate it. Again, nothing happened.I did a restart in order to see if that might have been needed. It made nodifference. The only thing I can report helpfully is visual evidence I'm unable to make sense of. And that is, when I activate this shortcut, a small dark rectangle I assume to be some sort of notification flashes onto the screen and disappears, all within a fraction of a second. Even if I could read, and therefore wouldn't need Jaws in the first place, I probably couldn't see what this thing says because it flashes by so fast. So that doesn't help me describe what's going on. Does anyone have an idea what it is that's not working right? Could it be that you can't just exit Jaws this way in a normal situation, instead of unloading it with Insert F4? You have to be in a situation where Jaws loses speech?
