Re: thunderbird update gone bad
Randy Barnett <randy@...>
You have to go to c:\programs\Delete the Thunderbird folder. Do this in ProgramsX86 also. Then u have to go to Folder options for windows. Then click the advanced tab then deselect hide protected files... Then you have to go to c:\users\your user name\apps and data\local\ and delete the thunderbird folder then back to apps and data then go to roaming and delete the thunderbird folder there... This will require you to reconfigure everything as if Thunderbird was never installed...

Re: Do I need Windows Creator?
Sieghard Weitzel <sieghard@...>
It is simply the next Windows 10 update. You won’t have a choice but to upgrade sooner or later so you might as well do it. Just make sure you have the latest Jaws 16 update installed first. If anything I think my laptop has become a bit snappier and more responsive with this update as Microsoft adds some features but also optimizes things.

I am looking for a keyboard shortcut to switch to a particular application. For example, I would like to have a keyboard shortcut that would switch me to a cygwin window. I don't want to press Alt-TAB multiple times and look for the right window in the list of running applications. I am using braille display, and alt-tabbing takes too long time. I switch applications often, and I am looking for more effective way to switch between applications. For example, I would love to have a script that would sweitch me to the cygwin window no matter what application is currently active and no matter how long ago I used cygwin the last time. Then I would love to assign a keyboard shortcut to this script, something like Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C, for example. And I would have a peace of mind, knowing that wherever I am, I can always switch to cygwin in just a single keystroke. Windows key + numbers. This is what I'm currently using. For example I have Windows key + 2 switches me to IE. The problem with it is that it is frustratingly unreliable. They only work about 80% of the times, and for the remaining 20% they set the focus to the task bar. Sometimes the success rate goes down even lower than 50%, at which point I have to reboot my computer. I've had this problem on two computers, one of which had a brand new windows. By the way, does anyone else experience the unreliability of this shortcut, or only me? Alt-tab is NOT what I'm looking for, since it switches to the last used application. I would like to have one shourtcut for IE, another for MCD and so on, so that whenever I want to switch to IE I would press that shourtcut just once. Pressing Alt-tab multiple times surely can switch me to any running app, but this way is too slow, I am looking for a more efficient solution. Insert+f10 is NOT what I'm looking for. The reason is the same as for alt-tab: it requires finding the right app in the list. Ctrl+Alt+Letter is NOT what I'm looking for. You can assign this type of shortcuts in the properties of applications on the desktop. But that would start a new application instead of switching to an existing one. So: 1. Is there a way to make windows key + number keyboard shortcut more reliable? Or: 2. Is there a way to assign keyboard shortcuts to specific apps? Maybe a jaws script or something? And again, I would like to reiterate what I need. I whish I could switch to cygwin with Ctrl+Shift+Alt+C, and switch to internet explorer with Ctrl+Shift+Alt+I, and so on. I am not afraid of hacking, so if there is either a jaws script, or any other hacky script, that can switch me to a particular application and that can be assigned to a keyboard shortcut, please let me know.

Re: Jaws script for switching between applications

Tony, if you have desktop shortcuts for the programs you want to use,
toggle quoted messageShow quoted text
and shortcuts assigned to them, for example, cygwin is control+alt+c, pressing the shortcut will switch you to that program, even if it's in the middle of doing something. I don't know if this will work for the command prompt. the only time I think it won't work for what you want is if the program is a multi session program, meaning it can be used even if it is open already. have you tried this, and does it work for you?
