Hi David, You can find all the supplied Sample macros in the Macro Explorer by hitting alt+f8. Expand the Samples node, then the Accessibility node and you will see a macro to maximise all tool windows in the environment. Until you update the start-up event you can simply run the macro from here each time you run the IDE. To have this happen every time you start Visual Studio, open the macro editor with alt+f11. Expand the Samples node and open the Environment Events module. Then add the following event procedure: Private Sub DTEEvents_OnStartupComplete() Handles DTEEvents.OnStartupComplete Call MaximizeToolWindowsInEnvironment() End Sub All the best, David From: program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:program-l-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of David Reynolds Sent: 07 March 2009 21:41 To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [program-l] Re: Configuring visual basic David, I am using the full version of vs2008. I wasn't aware that you could alter the IDE in this way. Where is the windows macro, and where can I locate the file in which to place it. Many thanks, David. ----- Original Message ----- From: David <mailto:david.lant1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Lant To: program-l@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Wednesday, March 04, 2009 8:03 PM Subject: [program-l] Re: Configuring visual basic Hi, You don't say whether you are using Express or not. If you are, then try the following: In the Options dialog under the Tools menu, select the Keyboard node and select the Edit.PreviousMethod and Edit.NextMethod commands. Allocate a convenient keystroke to these of your own choice. It will make navigating between procedures much easier in the code editor. I also went into the JAWS script editor and set up a couple of pass through script keys to execute these keystrokes and after a delay, speak the line that the cursor lands on. If you have a full version of Visual Studio 2008, then I would also recommend putting the Windows macro into the start-up event of the IDE, so that you can navigate to all the windows and close them more easily.

I have Jamal's scripts. Bearing in mind that there are configuration suggestions for C, does anyone have any tips on setup for VB.
