Hello,
I took a break from Windows 7 and decided to tackle my very skimpy
notification area today. I got JAWS in there using some instructions from Rick
Justice:
Open the start menu, and type the following in the search box:
notification
In the results, you should find, notification area icons, make sure that
this is selected, and press enter.
When the dialogue opens, you will probably hear Jaws say, okay button, so
just tab until you get into the list of applications.
Each time you tab, you will be on a different application,and using the up
and down arrows will select the behavior of that icon.
When you have finished making your changes, simply tab to the okay button,
and press enter to close the dialogue.
but programs like Carbonite, Microsoft Security Essentials, etc. aren't listed
when I tab. There's something about Microsoft Security Center, but I didn't
want to fool with it since I wasn't sure what it was. Is it possible that they
might show up in the notification area if I do the show all icons thing? My
tech installed the programs on the Win 7 and it's possible he might not have
chosen the show in sys tray item. I called him right as he was about to walk
out the door for the weekend, so he didn't have a lot of time to spend, but he
thought there were more items showing than there are.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Margaret

Subject: [JAWS-Users] Strange Items Appearing in Windows 7 System
Tray/Notification Area
Hi All,
The system tray/notification area on my 64 bit Windows 7 Home Premium
machine contains items that are totally different from those in the sys tray
on my XP Home computer and items that should be there like JAWS, Microsoft
Security Essentials, Carbonite, etc. are not showing.
Select a System Tray Icon graphic 798
Solve PC issues: 2 messages Right Single ClickFully charged (100%)
Network 2 Internet access
Speakers: 100% Left Single Click
Left Double Click
is what's there now.
There was a thread here last week where someone said that JAWS was not
showing in their sys tray and the responses, which I saved, seemed to
indicate that each item needs to have its behavior customized individually.
I'm not sure if my problem would be solved the same way and wanted to ask
here before I did anything. Does anyone know what in the world the "Solve
PC issues: 2 messages" comes from? All I can think of is that MSN was the
home page when my tech delivered the computer. Installing programs an
d set up is part of their paid service with the purchase of new machines and
maybe they posted to some tech forum to solve some issue with my machine.
I'm running JAWS 12 on the Win 7.
I greatly appreciate everyone's patience with all my questions!
Margaret
