Hi Rick,

there's a jaws guide to the taskbar in windows 7 which describes the structure 
and the navigation of the start menu, and it's available here:
http://bit.ly/cJ37BN
As already mentioned on the list, the search box is in fact at the bottom of 
the 
left hand column of the start menu.

David.



original message:
In Windows XP and earlier, you could down arrow, or up arrow thru the start 
menu. In Windows 7, it is my understanding that the search box is at the top of 
the start menu, if this is true, why can't I down arrow in the start menu? It 
would appear to me that down arrowing would move to the next item in the list.  
Thanks in advance, Rick Justice

Please explain to me how discussing the windows 7  start menu is off topic 
for this list. I wrote the guidelines myself and I see no such discrepancy. 
I await your reply and be specific as to your reasoning. The funny thing is 
maybe I'm wrong as it has happened before but I thought I decided what was

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 7 Start Menu

2011-01-03 Thread tim
Well already answered that one, but will again, also to why some 
think this is off topic.
When you hit start menu in windows7 you get a search field, nothing 
like xp, its a whole new ball game.
See the problem your having is not with jaws or has anything to do 
with jaws. That is why off topic.
When you open that up and arrow down it closed, because nothing has 
ben searched for. However, if you do a up arrow or a left arrow. You 
will find lists of many choices to choose from.
personally the computing list or a windows7 list would of fit the 
bill, but not a mod here. I just answer questions.

You can easily pin items to the start menu using the applications 
key.  Go to programs, to the one you want on the menu, press the 
applications key, and press enter on 'pin to start menu'.  the 
program will be listed immediately under the search window, or under 
any program that is already there.

Don't dismiss that search box either.  You can just start typing the name
of a program and it will find it.  So, if you want the calculator, just
type calc, and poof, it is there.  Faster than going through the start

everything that is there, but there are ways to do that as well.

I don't doubt that the search box can be useful,
but I can,  be where I need to be using a shortcut , in less time than it
takes to type a search string.

I would like to add that the search bar Dan mentioned is, as he said,
extremely useful.  Not only can you type your program, but also web url's,
document tittles, even search for particular emails through keywords. Play
with it until you become comfortable, and you will find you use it more 
than

the actual menu itself.
Happy New Year,

Don't dismiss that search box either.  You can just start typing the name
of a program and it will find it.  So, if you want the calculator, just
type calc, and poof, it is there.  Faster than going through the start
menu.  Takes some getting used to, and doesn't give you a real feel for
everything that is there, but there are ways to do that as well.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Windows 7 Start Menu

2011-01-02 Thread lmorris1953
Actually you should be able to arrow down past the search box on the start 
menu. When I arrow down once I come to the Windows Live Mail submenu 
followed by MS word and then MS excel etc etc. I believe there are eighteen 
items on my start menu.

In Windows XP and earlier, you could down arrow, or up arrow thru the 
start

menu.
In Windows 7, it is my understanding that the search box is at the top of
the start menu,
if this is true, why can't I down arrow in the start menu?
It would appear to me that down arrowing would move to the next item in 
the

list.

Thanks in advance,

Rick,
Like you when I first started windows 7 I did not like that. Now I think it 
is the best thing since sliced bread. For example if I wanted to defrag I 
use to have to go to accessories, system tools and defrag. now just type def 
and hit enter. Type e and enter and internet explorer is launched. I can 
also just arrow down and the rest of start menu is available.

I am not new to computers, and I doubt that it is quicker.
Thanks for the input.

I don't doubt that the search box can be useful,
but I can, be where I need to be using a shortcut , in less time 
than it

takes to type a search string.

Just my opinion. smile

I would like to add that the search bar Dan mentioned is, as he said,
extremely useful. Not only can you type your program, but also web 
url's,
document tittles, even search for particular emails through 
keywords. Play
with it until you become comfortable, and you will find you use it 
more than

the actual menu itself.
Happy New Year,
Melissa

Don't dismiss that search box either. You can just start typing the 
name

of a program and it will find it. So, if you want the calculator, just
type calc, and poof, it is there. Faster than going through the start
menu. Takes some getting used to, and doesn't give you a real feel for
everything that is there, but there are ways to do that as well.

[JAWS-Users] Windows 7: Start Menu and recommended settings

2009-07-12 Thread ChB
Hi listers,
yesterday I read an article about what all has been changed in windows 7 as
opposed to vista, what has been omitted, added and so forth.
One of the things it said was that windows 7 no longer has the option to
change the start menu to classic start menu. Does this cause any problems
with jaws?
Also, does anyone who has had experience trying out windows 7 have some sort
of list or manual I can check out about what the recommended settings and
changes are that I should make to the OS, in order for it to run smoothly
with jaws?
Using jaws 10.
Regards,
chrissy

Hi, the default Windows settings work absolutely fine with JAWS 10. One 
change I do make is to change the theme to Windows 7 Classic. This is to get 
ridk of the so called task switching list box which is very annoying and I 
can't get used to it for some reason. Otherwise all is well with Windows 7 
and JAWS 10!

on it quite a bit lately and I guess I will get in line this coming week to
pre-order my os. Smile
Thanks again!
