Hi Lorra I have jaws to automatically start when windows but it takes a little longer than I would like to talk. I wanted jaws to be the first in the list of programmes that start with windows but another list member has told me that it cant be done. tc ----- Original Message ----- From: Laura Shumate To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Saturday, January 09, 2010 11:08 PM Subject: Re: start up programmes Hi, Kevin, What version of Jaws are you using? If you are using jaws version 11.0 you can go into the basic settings dialogue which is under the options submenue and check the box that says start jaws automatically and it should start automatically when windows XP starts up.
