If you are talking about the message about pressing control, alt, delete to log on, yes it is shown on the screen.

When I lock my home computer with Windows-Key plus l, when I hit a key, the password field pops up. At work, they have it set that you have to press control-alt-delete to log on and the message is shown as well as spoken. If he used a password, someone knowing the keys to press wouldn't help them unless they also know his password. Richard

Re: Notepad++ and Jaws
Richard Turner
I think you are right about the verbosity setting. And, strangely enough, Jaws stopped speaking the status bar after each letter and I did nothing to change any settings. Must have been gremlins.
I will say that when I check the status line with insert+page-down, it reads very confusingly. I wrote two words which took 10 characters and when I checked the status line manually it said: Normal text file length : 10 lines : 1 Ln : 1 Col : 11 Sel : 0 | 0 Windows (CR LF) UTF-8 INS If you ignore the words “text fie length” it makes sense. I think I might try the trick of doing a dictionary entry that blanks out those words. Otherwise, this seems pretty good for editing the html files I have already created, which is what I do mostly now.

I found an app for podcasts, called Pocketcasts, which works quite nicely with jaws2019.
My question is, can you download stuff from a web app?
Can I download episodes, like I can with the ios app? Any info on this topic would be much appreciated.

Re: need help unmuting volume
ratshtron
this is true, but a shortcut must be created for
the program and then you need to change the last parameter to a 0 to unmute the sound. as I mentioned earlier, you can assign a keystroke to the shortcut so you can activate the shortcut on the fly. the last parameter works this way, 1 mutes, 2 makes the shortcut a toggle, and 0 unmutes the sound. so the target field has to be edited to look like this once the program is placed in the c:\windows\system32 folder c:\windows\system32\nircmd.exe mutesysvolume 0 you can then move the shortcut to the startup folder.
