I am taking a college Spanish class.  They use an interactive website called

My JAWS 15 allowed me to arrow down through the Spanish vocabulary but the

[Nathaniel Kile]

Ok, buckle up! To place IE on your desktop do the following. Press the
start/windows key, type in internet and when you hear internet explorer,
pull up the applications key and arrow to go to open file location and press
enter. Once there pull up the application key again and arrow down to send
to, or press the letter N to take you right there, once in the send menu
arrow down to add shortcut to desktop and press enter.
As far as needing to use the FN key, on a Dell you should be able to press
your FN key with the escape key to toggle on and off your F key settings.
This means that you should be able to use your F keys by their selves once
you toggle the FN/escape key combination.

Hi Everyone,
I'm wondering how I can get internet explorer to show up on my desktop? 
I have a Dell laptop which is pretty new and has an fn key, can you give me
some ideas on how to use this?
for instance, if I'm using jaws, I can't just use insert f4 to close out the
program, I have to use insert j and then up arrow to exit and do it that
way. is there a way to not have to use the fn key sometimes, and sometimes
us it for certain things?
Oh, I'm using win 10 and jaws 18 of course.

Re: [JAWS-Users] How to uninstall JAWS

[Adrian Spratt]

Hi. Since no one has responded so far, let me give you the Windows 7 answer in 
the hope it will lead you to your Windows 10 solution. If I correctly 
understand the path you show, you're going to programs from the root of the 
hard drive. Instead, press the Windows key, arrow up once to "All programs," 
right-arrow once, then press the first letter of any program name, and then 
press j for JAWS. Pressing the right arrow key on JAWS 18 from this point will 
open up the menu you want.

Re: [JAWS-Users] starting from the top

[LeDon]

I will tell you what I do. Sometimes when I open an email, it will start
reading from the bottom or sometimes the top, or sometimes, some other place
in the email. So I just get into the habit of pressing, ctrl, and the home
key.  That takes me to the top of the email. Maybe others will have a better
fix. But that is the way I solved the problem,  for me.

Hi Kimsan,

Since I don't use Outlook this is just a suggestion on something to try. 
While in Outlook open quick settings, Insert / Jaws key, + v, & arrow down 
to, General Mail Settings.  This is what I have in my Outllook Express quick 
settings under General Mail Settings.

General Mail Settings

Message Header Field With Message Announcement
Web frames and Link Count Announcement
Messages automatically read

Try unchecking the 1st 2 of these 3 checkboxes, & press enter to save your 
changes & close.  If this doesn't help, then try checking them 1 at a time 
to see if playing with any of these settings helps.

Take care.

Re: [JAWS-Users] JAWS 18 LATEST

[Flor Lynch]

If you haven't solved the problem since you wrote: What speech synth are you 
using with JAWS? I have found a problem/issue between JAWS18 latest (using 
SAPI5 in Internet Explorer and Eloquence elsewhere), and an Internet radio 
online streaming site with Internet Explorer 11. While listening to said 
streams, I mute JAWS speech with JAWSKey+SPACE, s; and use my braille 
display to navigate. (Windows7.) A few times, when closing the streaming 
site and unmuting JAWS speech, JAWS has not come back up talking, and no 
Braille either. I have been able to get NVDA up and running, using SAPI5, 
and Kurzweil 1000; but no JAWS. To get JAWS running again, I had to shut 
down and restart the computer, because no unloading/reloading JAWS worked. 
I am now using Eloquence in Internet Explorer, and have no problems.  The 
problem only happened between the latest JAWS and SAPI5 in Internet 
Explorer; not in previous JAWS.
