Brice, This is a function of the browser. No matter how you get to a page, Window-Eyes will start at the focused element. Most times when you hit enter on a link and then go back to the page with that link the browser will focus the link...sighted people want this as well. But, I've seen IE get into a state where it won't focus the previous link. Even without Window-Eyes I've seen this. I was never able to figure out what specific setting was causing IE to stop doing this...or maybe there was some sort of corruption. But I believe I fixed it by going to IE's Internet Options dialog, selecting the Advanced tab, tabbing to the Reset button and resetting all of IE's defaults. Once I did this and restarted IE, it started focusing the link when I went back...both with and without Window-Eyes. So I would give that a try.
