Wonderful tip Jim. There are times I forget which item is on the taskbar, so to launch jaws, I simply bring up the run dialog and type jaws followed by the version number.

A tip for starting, and switching versions of Jaws on your W-10 computer. In my experience with W-10. I like to pin my Jaws icon to the taskbar. For example, my Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, so pressing Windows key+2, will start Jaws 18 on my computer. In my opinion, this is a better way to start Jaws. I think it works more consistently than a standard Jaws keystroke like control+ALT+j. How to pin Jaws to the taskbar. Press the windows key, or press enter on the start button. Tab two times, to the apps view list box. Now just press the letter J, until you get to the Jaws version you wish to pin to the taskbar. For example Jaws 18. You will here, Jaws 18 collapsed, press enter to expand. You should hear, Jaws 18. Make sure that Jaws 18 is highlighted. Press the applications key, go down to, more submenu, right arrow one time, press enter on pin to taskbar. You are now done. Now press windows key+m, go to desktop. Tab twice to the taskbar, or just press windows key+t, this lands you on the first item pinned to the taskbar. Press the right arrow key, and count the number of icons on your taskbar, until you come to Jaws 18. Again, Jaws 18 is the second item on my taskbar, to start Jaws 18 on my computer, just press windows key+2. This is a much smoother way, of starting Jaws on your W-10 computer. Now Jaws 16 is the eighth item on my taskbar, so I press windows key+8, to start Jaws 16. So this is a great and easy way of switching from one version of Jaws to another. I hope you all of enjoyed this tip about starting Jaws on your W-10 computer. I wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a happy new Year! P.S. My three month cancer check-up was free of any new bladder tumors. Praise the LORD! Thanks for praying! Time for more coffee! Smiles.
