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

Hi Sieghard  I don’t know if Evelyn  went on outlook.com  website  to sign in her new gmail account  on there or not!! She have window7  not window10  ,she had asked me to try to send her email to see if she can reply or not ,she did received the email but she press ctrl r it’s didn’t works

OK, yes, I do understand this now.

Sieghard  When Evelyn  had her gmail address with window live mail in 2014 or 2015 she didn’t like it at all because she don’t know how to used it I asked her why she removed window live mail so she told me something I can’t remember  she didn’t have no email clients for 4 or 5 years now so she got office 365  in 2 weeks ago  with her gmail account. Do you understand ?

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.

Hi Munawar  All I can tell you when Evelyn and Microsoft disability support man on the phone download and installed office 365 email clients for $6 monthly  on her window7 computer where she stated last night to me on fb message  so I put in here this morning ,I will send her your message to see if she will response back to me and will reply back to you and all

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.

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?

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.

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.

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.

Hi all:

 

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.

 

 

Best,

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?

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.

Hi Munawar  All I can tell you when Evelyn and Microsoft disability support man on the phone download and installed office 365 email clients for $6 monthly  on her window7 computer where she stated last night to me on fb message  so I put in here this morning ,I will send her your message to see if she will response back to me and will reply back to you and all

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.

Yes, this approach seems close to what i need to reach out. I'll try this.

As far as i know there are no child process. Then that would be fine.

Shank you.

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 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.

Hey that's pretty cool. Does it also work when JAWS has frozen? It never used to restart the program from what I remember, but it certainly does now, I just tried it.

This command will close jaws and then atomically restart the program.  Give it a try.

                Good afternoon listers; insert plus f4 unloads jaws, alt plus control plus jay restarts him.  I do not understand anything about command lines and such, but just use the two key strokes I mentioned above and you will be good to go.

Why use such a complicate method to do something one can do with the single keystroke, Jaws Key + F4.

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]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f

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

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.

Hi all:

 

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.

 

 

Best,

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]
(c) 2019 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>taskkill /IM "jfw.exe" /f
SUCCESS: The process "jfw.exe" with PID 8856 has been terminated.

C:\WINDOWS\system32>

I googled JAWS command Line Options and didn’t get anything that seemed helpful.

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.
