For those interested in Windows 8,
Keep in mind that this is the Consumer Preview,
but I have tried the following programs, which seem to work just fine, 
considering that the latest build of Jaws is not designed for Windows 8.

ClassicShell3.50
Replaces the Metro UI with the classic Windows UI.

CleanUp451
Clean up utility written for XP, but also works in Windows 7.

LockNote
For creating password protected text files
No surprise that this works, it doesn't take an install.

replicator3.6.8.
Karen's replicator,  for backing up files,
which was written for pre-Windows 7, but works anyway.

I have a utility to remove the Metro UI from Windows 8 and replace it with 
the Windows 7 UI,
but haven't been able to get it to work so far.
The above listed programs  with the exception of the program to disable the 
Metro UI, can be found on the directory page at:

HTH,
Rick Justice
