Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?
I wish Vivaldi was a little cleaner with JAWS as it seems so nice and I love how customisable it is, but yeah. Truth is I’ve barely run it since I installed the thing. Still vaguely hoping for improvements, though.

Ok, but I'm 90% sure from reading past messages that your friend doesn't need Office Email, and Microsoft is probably upselling at this point. If your friend is running Windows 10, have them ask the disability support line to stop playing with Office and just set up Windows Mail for them. It will be far, far easier for your friend and much less complicated. Outlook is an enterprise application and unless your friend needs Outlook for professional reasons, she doesn't need to set it up.

I would also recommend you wait some seconds after killing JAWS

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"

Re: command line to enforce jaws restart
Munawar Bijani <munawarb@...>
They want to automate it and also have JAWS automatically
restart. Their original message said: "Do you know any command
line that can force jaws to restart??" So, they're looking for
automation here. JAWSKEY+F4 only shuts down JAWS. To restart it
you have to either press the JAWS shortcut key (if you've assigned
one) on the desktop shortcut or press WIN+R and enter jaws2019.
But OP wants a single-click shutdown and restart solution. That's
why the shutdown keystroke isn't sufficient for them.

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]

Re: bookmarks chrome RE: best web browser to use with JAWS?
Munawar Bijani <munawarb@...>
I had this issue as well and exported my bookmarks from Chrome to
a file, then edited the file to remove the "Imported From Firefox"
folder.
This is pretty simple to do since the Chrome bookmarks are saved
in XML, and all bookmarks are child nodes to the folder node
they're inside.
Once you remove the folder, just re-import the bookmarks file and
you'll be good to go.

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.

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.

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.

Please
post your recommendations of what you think is the best
web browser to use with the latest version of JAWS. I seem
to go back and forth on this and would like to settle down
and really learn using what folks think is best.

Thanks.

Subject: Re: Hello All Is it outlook or office 365 email ? 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.

I use office 365, windows seven, and jfw 20desktop computer. How do I reply and-or send a message? 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. Hello My friend told me in her fb message that she have office 365 when I was on the phone with her and Microsoft disability support to download and installed email programs for $6 a month !! Is office 365 is the same thing as outlook? 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? Hello All I have post about it but didn’t get any response back from any member. Is there outlook or office 365 email ? My friend have window7 desktop and jaws2019 ,she is having problem trying to how to send new email and reply email and add contact in address book !! Do any member have this email clients ? If so Can you tell me what I need to tell my friend what she need to do ? Thank you Addison
