Dave Carlson is the winner. Turns out Avast ate the JFW.exe file. I
found it in the virus chest. Thanks for the help!

Brad,
Either you don't have Administrator privileges, or you have an anti-virus
working in the background, or you need to call Tech Support at freedom
Scientific. Something is not allowing your jfw.exe to remain unmolested.

Subject: Re: jaws.exe disappears?
Update to my own posting: I came into work this morning, turned on my
computer, and heard the usual, "JAWS for Windows. Press Control Alt Delete
to Log On" (we're on a domain here.) Clearly JAWS was still on my machine
at that point. I logged in fine, but when my desktop came up, there was
no JAWS. Ran the JAWS shortcut, and got this same message that the item
the shortcut refers to has been changed or moved. So again, JFW.EXE just
disappeared. Ran System Restore, got the same error that Restore failed
and no changes were made, but JAWS was back.
Am I the only one having this problem? JFW 15 with latest update, Windows
7 Pro 64-bit.

Windows 7 64-bit, JAWS15, latest update.
I left the house yesterday, so I shut down my computer. All was working
when I left.
Came home tonight, started up my computer, and JAWS would not talk.
Tried restarting a couple of times. No JAWS. Put in a flash drive I have
with NVDA, and got it to talk to me. Tried to start JAWS from the
desktop shortcut; got the message the file had been changed or moved and
the shortcut would no longer work. Explored to
c:\program files\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\15.0
and found that, indeed, there was no jfw.exe
I always run my machine with a standard account, so there's no way I
could've deleted the program file.
Logged on as admin with the same results. Tried to reinstall the program
and got the message that I needed to reconfigure using Programs &
Features because another version was already installed. Thought I'd try
a system restore. Ran restore to December 17. Got the message that
Restore failed and no changes were made to my system, but JAWS came back
and is working fine now. Went back to the above referenced path, and
indeed, JFW.exe is now there once again.
Do huh?!?!?! What just happened? Anybody else had this experience?
