Hi Jay, I am excited about yo speaking at the NFBCS. I have asked to have Windoweyes installed on my computer. -----Original Message----- From: programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:programmingblind-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Lloyd Rasmussen Sent: Thursday, April 30, 2009 6:28 PM To: programmingblind@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: RE: Java accessibility 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.
