Try this I believe it is most of the settings you need
Windows XP and JAWS
Windows XP and JAWS
Windows XP Home or Professional. You rights to make several of these
changes.
Many of these settings are changed within Control Panel. To open Control
Panel, press the WINDOWS KEY to open the Start Menu, move to Control Panel,
and
press ENTER. Depending on your system settings, Control Panel either opens
in a separate window, or the Control Panel items open as a sub-menu.
We recommend making changes in the following areas:
List of 5 items
. Display Properties
. Folder Options
. Start Menu
. Windows Explorer
. System Performance
list end
Display Properties
List of 9 items
1. From the Control Panel, move to "Display" and press Enter.
2. From the themes combo box, select Windows XP.
3. In the List of backgrounds on the Desktop page, choose Bliss.
4. Set Position to "Stretch."
5. In the Screen Saver combo box on the Screen Saver page, press HOME to
select none.
6. On the Appearance page, set Windows and Buttons to Windows classic style.
7. Set Color Scheme to Windows Standard.
8. Set Font to normal.
9. Close the dialog.
list end

"Modified Theme."
Folder Options
List of 5 items (contains 1 nested list)
1. From the Control Panel, press ALT+T to go to the Tools menu.

B. Clear the Hide Extensions For Known File Types check box.
C. If you also use screen magnification software, clear the Show pop-up
description for folder and desktop items check box. Pop up descriptions
often hides
the menu item just below any given menu item, making it impossible to
visually see the next item in the menu list.
D. Move to the Apply to All Folders button and press SPACEBAR.
E. Select Yes in the dialog that opens to acknowledge this change.
