bookmarks chrome RE: best web browser to use with JAWS?
Sharon
But no way to actually organize them in folders like IE? What will happen if I import all my folders from IE? Sharon

Hi Sharron,
I actually found bookmarks the hardest transition when I first moved from IE to chrome, but now use chrome all the time and almost never use IE any more. One tip I can give regarding bookmarks which I found really helpful with Chrome is there is a key combination to quickly access bookmarks in a list similar to how IE displays them. If you press and hold ALT and then press F (it should say context menu at this stage), then release alt and f, press b (it should say something like bookmarks sub menu), simply press right cursor key and you’re in the list of bookmarks. I realised As I wrote that it actually sounds more complicated than it actually is , but I do find this key stroke a really quick and easy way of accessing bookmarks in chrome. Hope that helps.

What do you mean as menus being quite as deep as? I’m confused about bookmarks for example in both Firefox and Google Chrome. IE is so simple. I don’t know what I’m missing here. Sharon

I don't think there is one best web browser. The chromium-based ones are okay, although I try to avoid actual google chrome because of its spying. I'd much rather use brave it blocks ads and lets me read things where other browsers just say you have to subscribe or allow ads. I like firefox for the fact that its menus aren't buried quite as deep as chromium-based browsers. Other than the menus they all basically work the same, so there really is no reason to restrict yourself to only using one browser.

Did your friend set up an Email account in Outlook? You need an Email account configured before those commands will work.
For a simpler experience, I would recommend your friend to use
the built-in Windows Mail. Outlook is mostly good for business
environments and is overkill for most of the people I've seen
using it.

Re: command line to enforce jaws restart
Munawar Bijani <munawarb@...>
I would also recommend you wait some seconds after killing JAWS before restarting it. The first line kills JAWS, the second line waits five seconds, and the third restarts JAWS. So: taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f timeout 5 "C:\program files\freedom scientific\jaws\2019\jfw.exe"

Hi, You can kill JAWS by executing the taskkill command: taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
The problem with this approach is that you will also need to kill all of JAWS' child processes. When I have some time I'll go through task manager and see all of the different processes that JAWS has. You would use taskkill to kill them off one by one before restarting JAWS.
You also need to be running an elevated command prompt to execute taskkill.
If done successfully, here is what the output looks like: Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.18362.175]

Hi Dean, My objective is to make Jaws restart seemlessly so that users are not forced to deal with keystrokes. Some of my cleints get nervous and lose self-trust when its time to shutdown jaws and restart it manually. Since this process is used when installing Jaws (automatically restart when install is complete), i thought there was a command line that could do the job.

Why not use the Keyboard Manager and assign a new hotkey to the ShutDownJAWS script? We go through this sort of thing in the forthcoming windows Keyboard Power User Guide book. You could add a keystroke like, perhaps, shift+ctrl+z, or some other keystroke that you can remember, that doesn’t use a JAWSKey, and that isn’t used by other programs you’re using, so that you can use it to do what we do with JAWSKey+F4.

Hello,
I have this DOS command in my desktop shortcut.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
the -f is for force (It doesn't work as well
as it did in Win7 The -t is the time to wait -- 0 mili seconds
The command shutdown.exe might work without the path. You could move the shutdown.exe file to your root directory. Peter T.

command line to enforce jaws restart
Tanguy LOHEAC
Hello all Do you know any command line that can force jaws to restart? This is because i'm using a program on my laptop that disables the Jaws key. And th only way to restore it is to restart Jaws. But i wish i could write a batch file that would make it automatically after this program has been run. thank you for any suggestions
Have a nice day Tanguy --

Hi Tim,
It's been reported that turning this feature off in either Jaws quick settings or from the Settings Center doesn't work. So, while in Word press, Alt + F, for the file menu and press the letter, T, to open options. Now down arrow to, Proofing, and tab down to uncheck the proper items. Then tab to, Okay, and press enter to save and close Word.

Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?
Randy Barnett
Don't give up on IE yet. It will occasionally work when others wont do what you need them too. The truth is you need multiple browsers because each will work in a situation where the others wont. the new Chromium based Edge is pretty good. I use it as my default browser and use IE and Firefox on occasion. There will never be a single work on every webpage browser for us. Vivaldi is not nearly as easy to use as advertised and I haven't
tried water fox or Brave but I will be after reading this.

Office 365 is a subscription service, you can pay monthly or for the entire year which is cheaper. Among some other benefits like 1 Tb of OneDrive storage and getting 60 Skype minutes each month the Office 365 subscription also includes a license to download the full Office suite and install it on up to 5 computers. This of course includes Outlook as well as Word, Excel, PowerPoint etc. But you only get to use the full set of Office apps and features as long as you pay your subscription.

You probably didn’t get a response back before because your question is pretty hard to understand. Even now the only question I can glean from this is: “Is there outlook or office 365 email ?” Yes. Outlook is the e-mail client in Microsoft office.
If you want your friend to be helped by the list, I think you’ll need to be a bit more specific, or maybe even get her on here to ask the question herself. Does she have outlook? I guess that’d be a good place to start. Is she trying to set up e-mail with an iSP? Gmail? Something else?

Yes, the standard Facebook site has become superb with

years ago I found it to work really well with screen reading
software, so I'm sure it's only gotten better.
