If you do not want her to close any applications you have open but rather want her to minimize them hole sale; have her press either the windows key plus the letter "d" as in dog or windows key plus the letter "m" as in mother. This will minimize all open applications to the task bar, exposing the desktop. Debbie ----- Original Message ----- From: Steve Gomes To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Thursday, June 30, 2005 4:15 PM Subject: sighted user on the computer I am totally blind and use jaws. I have a sighted friend who uses the computer. She likes to close outoutlook express and any other programs I have open when she lets say wants to use internet explorer for the internet. She asks me if she should just minimize my programs and I don't know because I might have to maximize them again. Is there a way she can do an alt tab with the mouse. And instead of closing all the programs what should I have her do. web site www.rellek.com/stevegomes phone 720-747-4990 -- 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.
