There is one other advantage I can think of for having Jaws in the system
tray for many of us who share a computer with others as I do mainly at work
but also occasionally here at home.
Sighted people often do not like working with Jaws running, very
particularly on Web pages where the image jumps about following the virtuous
cursor. Visually and mouse oriented as these sighted people very reasonably
are, they can find jaws in the system tray and in the language they use, "X"
it off.
I have known some to mute the sound on the sound card which really screws up
access but that is another story for another day.

There is no definitive answer, because it's a personal preference thing,
nothing more, nothing less. If it's in the system tray (which has nothing
whatsoever, by the way, to do with the start JAWS automatically setting),
it's more out of the way, that's all.
