Re: JFW system tray icons
Steve Matzura
I'm nopt even sure it's a Windows problem. I've had phantoms in the system tray that those with sight say they can't see. I wonder if simply restarting JAWS would clear those phantoms.

does a person have to have 2 dropbox accounts?
David Ingram
Hi list members, I'd like to know if it is possible to just have 1 dropbox account? I ask this question because I have a dropbox account for my windows pc, and I have another for my iPhone. Isn't there a way to just have 1 account only? Thank you for any information that you might have concerning this question.

Hi,
Prior to installing the latest Jaws 64 bit update a few days ago, Jaws would read the row position in a web based table as I arrowed up the column but since the update, Jaws no longer gives this information.
Can someone inform me which settings need to be changed so once more Jaws can give this info?
Thanks
Tom

To display the icons in the system tray, press JAWS Key plus F11. Of course, in order to read something, it has to be there. Some programs, while having a presence in the system tray, don't appear because their icons are hidden. Here's how to show or hide them.
1. Open Windows Settings by pressing the Windows Key plus I. 2. Type icon and pres the Down Arrow key until you hear "Themes and Related Settings." 3. Tab to the list box and use the Down Arrow until you hear "Task bar notification area," then press ENTER. 4. Press TAB until you hear "Select which icons appear on the task bar," and press ENTER. 5. You are now in a dialog-like view that shows a button for every running program that can put an icon in the system tray. Note, I don't mean the task bar, where programs whose windows are minimized will appear normally, or programs that have been specifically pinned to the task bar. 6. For each program, decide if you want its icon to be present or absent from the system tray, and change the setting by tapping the space bar as is appropriate to your needs. ON means it shows, OFF means it does not show. 7. You can go around this display by pressing the TAB key and make changes as many times as you want to. When you're done, press Alt plus F4 to close the window and prevent further changes. 8. Test your changes. Open the system tray by pressing the JAWS Key plus F11, and move through the visible icons with the Up and/or Down Arrow keys. If you don't like what you find, press the ESCAPE key, then go back to Step 1.
Hope this helps.

Re: JFW system tray icons
Nermin
Hi Marty,
I would assume that JAWS got stuck and restarted itself at some point,
leaving its old icon in the system tray. Press enter on one of the icons. if
it’s the “Dead” instance, the icon should clear away. I don’t really know why
Windows does not have an automated way of clearing phantom icons on its
own.
Regards,
Nermin

Re: dropbox 86

i just looked in dropbox on line because some google searches suggested that there is accessibility settings in the privacy settings somewhere but all i have found is the privacy terms and conditions.

i'm useing the desktop dropbox folder with windows 7 and in the public folder it has these options that can't be erased. new folder view new folder new paper doc new paper templet new google docs file new google slides file new google sheets file new shortcut owner (my account name) sharing settings it still has the public folder. and until yesterday when i tried to paste a file into it jaws or n v d a didn't say if the file was pasted there or not. i also found out today that when nothing is speaking i have to open the dropdown menu and close it again because the jaws focus is somewhere else. a screen redraw didn't do anything.

You can download DropBox for windows from the DropBox website or alternatively www.ninite.com. In addition once you have DropBox for Windows installed there is no longer a need for a "Public Folder". Nowadays all of your DropBox files on your computer can be made available via DropBox sharing links unlike in previous incarnations where you had to specify a special "Public" folder for this purpose. Simply bring up the context menu on any file in your DropBox - again remember not on the website but on your computer, and this will enable you to "Copy DropBox link to clipboard". Alternatively you could set up a shared folder with another DropBox user by following a share DropBox folder option again on the context menu and again on your windows DropBox sub folder and not initially at least on the website, although you will be redirected to the website as part of the share folder wizard. Therefore in terms of accessibility, after installing DropBox on your PC, your DropBox folder should appear as a normal File Explorer Window as in any other folder. There should be no difference in accessibility between your local mirror of your DropBox and any other Windows File Explorer window. Specifically the DropBox folder is I think by default under Users and then Documents on the C drive of your computer but as I have moved my own DropBox folder to a bigger D drive I cannot check for you.

JFW system tray icons
Marty Hutchings
Hay Guys, For a while now, I have noticed that I have 2 system tray icons for JAWS on my system tray, but now I have 4 of them. I also have 2 iCloud icons. Why would I have duplicates and how do I get rid of the extra icons? I only have 2 versions of JAWS installed.

I would use the Windows control panel, programs and features, and uninstall from there, but you probably should leave shared components.

Simply remove the version you don't want through the program removal function in the control panel. You can easily pull this up by typing in "programs" into the start menu search. I hope this helps. Vaughn

for jaws you have to find the option to make jaws reside in the system tray instead of the desktop.

also you may have to open the notification icon and find the icons you want to turn on or off before they will show.
