Re: Bypassing the log on screen in Windows 10 20-04
Patrick Murphy
Hi Dave,
I have a windows 10 del computer. Granted, it is quite old, and doesn’t have the ability to use finger printing face recognition etc. However, there is only one user account on this machine, and it doesn’t have a password or pin. When I power it up, it just goes straight to the desktop.
Don’t know if this will help you.
Cheers,
pat

Hello Everyone:
Uptoo, and including Windows 10, 19-09, to disable the log on screen, the simplest way to do that, was to open the dialogue window in the N E T P L W I Z (without the spaces), applet, and uncheck the check box on the option which says: "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer. You would enter the password in the 2 following fields, click on the Apply button to accept the change, then click on the OK button, to close the dialog window. After that, whenever you started the computer or, restarted the computer, the computer would bypass the log on screen, and go straight to the desktop.
I have just performed a fresh installation of Windows 10, using the 20-04 version. in the N E T P L W I Z applet, the option, "Users must enter a user name and password to use this computer", is no longer there. Does anyone on this list, know of another way to disable the log on screen. If they do, will you please give step-by-step instructions.
Thank you in anticipation.

Re: assigning custom label with jaws.
Patrick Murphy
Hi,
I have tried this with both jaws 2018 and 2020 (latest update). My windows 10 is also totally up to date, as just checked this morning. I have a buffalo link station that i am using for storage. When you try to shut it down, or remove an external usb disk, a confirmation number is asked for. There are four numbers in total that you have to enter, e.g. 1234. The numbers present themselves on the screen as graphics. They are read by jaws as: “graphic number_1” “graphic_number2” “graphic_number3” and “graphic_number4”. Obviously, these are pictures. This has been confirmed by my son. The number sequence changes, it is not always the same number, but given that, so does the picture, as it has a different number. In the old internet explorer, i was able to assign a custom label to these numbers. Once my son helped me to go through each number from 0 to 9, the graphics were read out correctly, no matter what sequence they appeared in. Now, with google chrome, ms edge and brave, there does not seem to be any way to set a custom label. Jaws is telling me that this cannot be done. It could be that the pictures are not clickable or something like that. Can you only create a custom label for an element on a web page that is actionable? If so, why would internet explorer allow this, and no chrome based browser will? From what i have read, jaws should be able to create a custom label for anything whether it is actionable or not. Surely, this is the point of these. If there is a graphic on a web site that you just want to know what it is, a custom label should be creatable. Am i wrong? If so, can anyone provide an idea as to how to overcome this? At the moment, if i want to do anything with my link station, i have to wait until someone who can see is there. Please do not tell me to get another nas, this is not an option.
Kind regards,
pat

It is me, or does Internet explorer work better than Chrome, even on the mobile site?
I have not tested firefox yet.
I am using JAWS 2019.
Are there any other better working browsers?
Isn't there a way to get chrome to work better on facebook? Thanks,

Re: What happened to my desktop?
Bill White
Hi, Shirley. There are two settings that you can change to make sure that, in the future, even if Tablet Mode does get turned on, your desktop and task bar won't be hidden.
1. Open Settings with Windows key plus I. 2. TAB to the list of Settings categories, and press ENTER on System. 3. Arrow down to Tablet Mode, and press ENTER. 4. Under Tablet Mode, make sure, Hide app icons on the taskbar in tablet mode Button is Off 5. Also under Tablet Mode, make sure, Automatically hide the taskbar in tablet mode Button is Off.

Hi Mike,
Yes, I tried rebooting. I also pressed windows key plus D and also the alt M and even Control M. Nothing happens. I ask Curtana for mail is the way I find it now. I no longer have the normal list. I hope I didn’t get a virus or something.
No, I didn’t finish the letter before the Desktop vanished, but I asked Curtana for mail and finished (rewrote) the important email letter. What the letter had to do with everything is that I was rushing to get it sent out before today—long story. In my hurry, I may have pressed the wrong keys somewhere—or been keying too fast--that darn letter took up a lot of my time and brain power. By the time I sent out my plea for help last night, I was exhausted. (smile). My next plan is to call Microsoft Disability number. Thought I’d pick your brains on the list first.

Did you get your letter composed and saved?

Restoring files
clarence carter
I had the unfortunate experience of destroying an Excel file. I thought that I had a back up or a version to restore.
When I looked, I found that there were no previous versions.
How can I set up Windows 10 so that it will keep previous versions of documents?
If there is a page that you can point me to, I would appreciate it.
Thanks

Re: filling out PDFs

I think the best way to do it is like this: Open the PDF file. Then after it is open select all the material and then copy it to the Clipboard. Then close Adobe, open Microsoft Word, paste the form into the Microsoft Word document window, then see if you might be able to fill it out in the form of a Word document. I'm like you--I'd rather fill out the form myself, but there are times it just can't be done.

Re: What happened to my desktop?
Jaffar Sidek
Hi all. You know, the past 2 weeks have stimulated my
emagination, at least where Microsoft Windows is concerned. The
email subjects like "Windows is gone", and the latest one, "Where
is my desktop?", well, they have sort a Sci-Fi, Mystery detective,
Mystical effect. A nice divergance from the convention and norm,
don't you think? Do they not stimulate you to tune in to the next
installment to see what happens next, or moan and groan when you
miss it? At least it is a release from the usual. Cheers
Microsoft Windows that provides bugs and program flaws that cause
misery and fun in equal measure, and cheers to the emailers who
provide such unusual and original, imaginative email subjects.
