This doesn't work with Windows 10. In 10, when you get to that StartUp tab, you have to click on a link that takes you to Task Manager. In my 10, the items in the StartUp tab seem to be sorted by name; not the order of running. Also in my 10, I have an Enable/Disable button as opposed to a check/uncheck items. So, I'd have to do more research to determine the order in which the programs are loaded and how to change this order. I've done a Google search and can't find anything that tells me how to do it easily.

With msconfig open, press, Shift + tab,so you hear, General Tab. 3. Now, control + tab, until you hear, Start-up tab. 4. Now, tab 1 time, & you should be in the list of apps / programs that can be checked or unchecked. Take care.

I pressed the tab button and still did not find any programs list for start up. Any other suggestions? Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Mike B.

For those of you that have Jaws set to start at the Windows log-in screen, but it doesn't, this might work for you. I looked in, msconfig, & found that JAWS Freedom Scientific wasn't at the top of the list on the Start-up Page / Tab, so this is what I did. 1. Press, Windows key + R, to open the run dialog. 2. Type, *msconfig*, without the stars, & press enter. 3. Press, control + tab, until you get to the, Start-up Page / Tab. 4. I arrowed down the list, & unchecked any items above, JAWS Freedom Scientific, on the Start-up Page / Tab. Note: Only uncheck the items / programs above JAWS Freedom Scientific, & nothing else. Pay close attention to what you uncheck because you are going to recheck these items / programs shortly. 5. Tab to the, Okay, button, press the spacebar, & tab 1 time to, Restart, & press enter to restart your computer. 6. Once your computer is booted up repeat steps 1 thru 3, & you will notice that JAWS Freedom Scientific is now at the top of the list. 7. Now, arrow down the list of items / programs on the Start-up Page / Tab, check the items / programs that you unchecked previously, & repeat step #5. Now Jaws should start on the Windows log-in screen when your computer starts. I did the above steps on 4 different computers, both desktop & lattop, &I'm not going to say it works everytime, but it sure works most of the time, which I can say is a damn site better than before I followed the above steps.
