I will see you at the NFBCS meeting.  

I recently installed your script for Java, and can indeed read the Java
Control Panel in Window-Eyes.  But this leads to a question.

I was looking at running processes on my PC at work (and found this at home
also), and discovered a recently added program, jqs.exe, Java Quick Start.
Some info on an internet forum indicated that this is a program which
pre-fetches many Java components in versions of Windows before Vista, so
that when it is needed, Java will load faster.  Is there any way to disable
this program, to prevent some disk thrashing, with or without use of the
Java Control Panel?  I think this pre-fetch mechanism was incorporated into
the Java runtimes some time last year.
