[JAWS-Users] start screen
Hi Joseph, Thanks but I still did not find it. and I also noticed that when I type a few letters in the search box Jaws use to say no apts matching your search and now since I have windows 8.1 it does not do that anymore would you have any ideas how to get it to do it again I am using windows 8.1 and jaws 15latest Thank you in advance [JAWS-Users] start screen in windows 8.1 Hi Adam, Joseph writing off list from JAWS-Users list. Smile. I wouldn't spend too much time worrying about what is or is not on the Windows 8 start screen. If you use the Start screen search box, I'm very confident you will find messaging and your calendar much, much faster than manually trying to find it on the start screen. Remember, you need only press the Windows key then begin typing what it is you're seeking. After typing a few characters, simply down arrow through the list of results. Compare searching using the Start screen search box verses wandering around the start screen looking for the respective tiles. Joseph the free tech guy! All are welcome to write me off list if absolutely any help is needed For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/

Re: [JAWS-Users] Start screen in vista
Hi Arianna, On my Win7 systems the same thing occurs,it's just that the start button, is where Jaws is focused. I am not sure that you can change that behavior, it seems to me that it is Jaws, not the computer. I just alt tab, and the Jaws window gains the focus, since it is not running in the system tray. In earlier versions of Windows and Jaws, if I put Jaws in the system tray, the focus would go to the desktop. Just to clear up any confusion, we are talking about the start button, not a start screen.

Again, just press shift+tab -Original Message- From: Rick Justice Sent: Friday, November 15, 2013 4:31 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Start screen in vista Hi Arianna, On my Win7 systems the same thing occurs,it's just that the start button, is where Jaws is focused. I am not sure that you can change that behavior, it seems to me that it is Jaws, not the computer. I just alt tab, and the Jaws window gains the focus, since it is not running in the system tray. In earlier versions of Windows and Jaws, if I put Jaws in the system tray, the focus would go to the desktop. Just to clear up any confusion, we are talking about the start button, not a start screen.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Start screen in vista
Yes, Rick, I realize it's the start button now. JAWS on my computers is in the system tray because I don't like that JAWS window always being on the screen. To each his own. Since it can't be changed I'll just keep putting up with it. Thanks for the clarification.
