Hi there, 1. Press Windows key plus Space to launch Sidebar. Then go to Add Gadget button and from the dialog that appears, select a gadget (like CPU Meter) then press SPACE. Press Alt+F4. 2. To switch between gadgets, press Windows key plus G (for Gadget); for reverse order, press Windows key plus Shift plus G. When viewing gadgets be sure to press TAB when the name of the gadget is announced. To switch back to the application that you were working ojn, press Alt+Tab. Cheers, Joseph P.S. My last episode on my own Vista series talks about Sidebar with JAWS 8 (also applies to JAWS 9). _____ From: jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jfw-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ron McEwan Sent: Wednesday, October 03, 2007 9:05 AM To: jfw@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: windows sidebar can anyone give me steps to use the windows sidebar in Vista either using jfw v8 or the public beta of v9?
