Really Gerald. Can we lay off of the attacks please. It was a suggestion. I personally use NVDA to tell me what is going on when JAWS quits for no reason. I did not know that you could set Narrator to only speak at log on and off.
Love in Christ Marty For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore, take up the full armor of God, so that you will be able to resist in the evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. Ephesians 6:12, 13

If JAWS stops speaking for some reason, then you won't be able to toggle on Narrator to troubleshoot the problem.

I have two ways of knowing my laptop has shut down. I can press on the cd player, and if it opens, the laptop is still on. Also, my external speaker makes a sound when the laptop shuts down.

Or, instead of buying such a device, plug in your iPhone or whatever you have, just make sure you don't use the port which many computers now have and which can charge even with the laptop turned off. If the computer is still on, your phone will start to charge.

Which is why the only reliable means of determining whether your computer has powered off is to connect a small USB powered cooling fan to one of the USB ports. This is especially useful if your computer has an SSD or internal fan that emits little or no mechanical noise or vibration of its own.

And even in Windows 7 I had situations where the shut-down sound played and then one of my sighted employees or my wife said the computer had not powered down because of some message which Jaws didn't read any more. But adding it to Windows 10 as an elevated task as I described in my other email does work well and it's better than nothing.

Unfortunately, there is no shutdown sound in Windows 10. Hacking the registry to produce logoff or shutdown sounds is a bad idea, no matter what the other "experts" on this list may tell you to the contrary. The bottom line is that hacking the registry can often produce unwanted or unpredictable results. If you want to be sure that your computer has completely powered off after you initiate a shutdown, I suggest purchasing a small USB-powered cooling fan and connecting it to a front or rear panel USB port. When the computer powers off, the fan will stop spinning. Simple as that.

Yes, it works.
“System Exit” is the event associated with shutdown.
“Windows logoff” is associated with signing off to log on as a different user.

Hi Bill, I downloaded the file containing the scripts you mentioned and unzipped it. The unzip procedure creates three folders each containing 2 files.
What is the difference between “System Exit” and Windows logoff”?
Have you tried this technique and did it work?
Thanks Tom

Hi. I tried to send this message to the JAWS list before, but it hasn't shown up in the last 27 minutes, so I am sending it again, in hopes that it will get through this time.
In case someone cannot find this page on Ehow, I am including the link below that will download the zip file containing the registry edit scripts that will return the logon, logoff and system exit events back to the Sound settings without having to manually edit the registry.
