JAWS Startup Wizard when I log into a different account. WHY?

Brad Martin <brad@...> #20885 I have a long-standing practice of having at least two user accounts on a computer--an administrator's account, and a user's account. I usually run with the User's account unless I'm installing some piece of software, in which case I switch to the administrator's account. Problem is that every time I log off and then log on as a different user, the JAWS startup wizard runs. For awhile, I went through it every time, but I found half of my setting choices were ignored immediately following. So now, I cancel the wizard, restart my computer, and log back in as the user I want. When I do that, all the settings I'd chosen in the past come back. This isn't a crisis, but it's highly annoying. If my computer didn't boot up in under a minute, I'd really be disturbed. Is this normal? I remember it happening in JAWS 10 occasionally, but not very often. I'm currently running JAWS 15. I have upgraded to the latest update, but this started with the initial release of Jaws 15 that I installed. Thanks for any advice; like I said, it's doable, but a pain. Brad -- This is a test.

Marten Post Uiterweer #20887 Brad, I think, the profile of the admin account will not be saved and your usersettings will be lost. Normally when you logout, your usersettings including the jaws private settings are saved. I think this is not done when using the admin account, so if you are the only user of jaws on that computer, you can install jaws with the /type roam parameter, so usersettings will be stored in the jaws folder insteat of the profile. But when using another computer, you will not have the settings that you have made, because they are stored on the first computer. An other method is to talk with the ict department if they can do something so your appdata\freedom folder will be kept.

Brad Martin <brad@...> #20902 Thanks for the suggestion, but that's not it. If I reboot, my admin account's settings are saved perfectly fine. It happens whenever I switch user accounts, whether to an admin account or a standard user account. You log in, the startup wizard appears; you cancel that, and then reboot, and all the settings you set from before come back. It's just screwy.

Marten Post Uiterweer #20903 Brad, You can check in c:\users if the profile of the admin or user is saved when switching accounts. If it is not the profile, I don't know.

Dave... #20911 Brad, In your JAWS/Options/Basics dialog, press the Automatically start JAWS button. Make sure: Start JAWS after logon for all users is checked, and start JAWS for this user after the logon - always is selected Dave Carlson San Francisco Bay Area semi-retired sales engineer, Farfar, musician, and woodworker. dgcarlson@... toggle quoted message Show quoted text ----- Original Message ----- From: "Brad Martin" <brad@...> To: "The Jaws for Windows support list." <jfw@...> Sent: Saturday, January 11, 2014 7:19 PM Subject: Re: JAWS Startup Wizard when I log into a different account.

Brad Martin <brad@...> #20912 Got that. I don't think I'm communicating my problem correctly. Let's try this: Assume that I have two accounts. Account A is an Admin user, and Account B is a basic user. Let's say on Monday, I log onto the computer as A. The JAWS startup wizard runs, and I set the parameters the way I want them. Tuesday, I again log in as A. The wizard does not run, and all of my settings are saved from Monday. So I create account B and give it limited rights. Wednesday, I log into account B. The startup wizard runs, and I set account B preferences the way I want them. Thursday I log into A. The startup wizard runs, as if I haven't used the account before, even though I have. It would seem that none of my settings from Monday/Tuesday were saved. But if I cancel the startup wizard and reboot, all of A's settings come back when I restart. Friday, I log in to A's account again, and no wizard; my settings are intact. Saturday, I log into B's account, and the wizard runs again. I cancel, and my old settings are not in effect; so I reboot, and the old settings come back. Is that clearer? Any time I switch users, no matter which account, what day it is, or the rights of the user account, when I switch accounts, I almost always get the startup wizard, and I have to reboot to get the settings I'd originally chosen to take hold.
