Hi, Tanguy. Insert plus F4
only quits JAWS. Winkey plus INSERT plus F4 quits JAWS and
restarts it, as well as reporting any errors to Vispero.
i I didn't know this command. How
different is it from Insert+F4?

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.

Hello,
I
have this DOS command in my desktop shortcut.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
the
's is for shutdown, -r is for reboot
the

Re: Hello All Is it outlook or office 365 email ?
OK, yes, I do understand this now.
The question remains, is her current Gmail account set up correctly in Outlook? Also, if she only got Office in order to use Outlook and she doesn’t use Excel
or Word or has use for the 1 Tb of OneDrive storage then she would be better off cancelling the subscription and to get what is called a “recycled” license key for Office 2019, you can buy them on eBay for I think $10 or less and it is a one-time payment not
a monthly or yearly subscription. There is also Thunderbird which is a free mail client and of course if she uses Windows 10 then she has Mail built in.
If she does use online storage then the Office 365 subscription is actually a good deal.
Also, whether she uses Outlook, Thunderbird or the Windows 10 Mail app, she will of course have to learn how to use these applications or she will end up like
back in 2014 when she decided she didn’t like Windows Live Mail.

Sieghard

I mean no offense, but your mails are so all over the place that I doubt you will ever get a good answer. You write 2 lines and mention two Gmail accounts,
Windows Live Mail, Facebook, JFW and Office 365 and to me all seem like random, unrelated things. What does Facebook have to do with Office 365? Windows Live Mail is an old mail client which probably shouldn’t even be used in Windows 10 which has a built-in
mail application called simply “Mail”. But even if that is what your friend used and didn’t like there is really no reason to create a new Gmail account. All she would have to do is to make sure she deletes the account from Mail, if she in fact downloaded
Windows Live Mail she should uninstall it, then she can set up her Gmail account in Outlook. You still haven’t said if she even properly configured this Gmail account in Outlook and I assume she did not because if it were set up correctly then she would see
her Inbox and emails and Control + N definitely would start a new email.
Yu also mentioned she worked with Microsoft Accessibility to get Office 365, if that is the case why does she not call them back so they can help her set this
up correctly.

Munawar Evelyn have gmail account with window live mail she doesn’t like it so she removed window live mail because she doesn’t know how to used it with jaws
!! So she created another gmail account and have office 365 !! She is on facebook and she tried to subscribe in jfw with office365 when she press ctrl n it’s didn’t said new message
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.
Even so, most companies that use Outlook have Office Business subscriptions anyway so the employees themselves don't pay for Office licenses.
Windows Mail is light, fast and simple to use; and 100% free.

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.

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

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

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?

Getting rid of how many of how many
In word 2016 with UIA turned on, JAWS reports how many of how many items in some imaginary sequence. Often it is something like 1 of 8, but today we had 5 of 560. If I turn off UIA to get rid of the announcement, I suppose it makes a biiiiig difference somewhere. Can I just get rid of the count???

Re: command line to enforce jaws restart

Hello,
I have this DOS command in my desktop shortcut.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
the 's is for shutdown, -r is for reboot
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.

Re: best web browser to use with JAWS?

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.

Hi Peter
thank you. However my initial was about Jaws restart, not Windows.
Nevertheless this would be helpful in other circumstances.
thank you

Hello,
I have this DOS command in my desktop shortcut.
C:\Windows\System32\shutdown.exe -s -f -t 00
the 's is for shutdown, -r is for reboot
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.

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
