Moderated moving jaws settings to another computer
|
Steve Nutt
I can’t remember, but I know it didn’t get a couple of settings for me when I tried it in JAWS 2021.
I think it blew my punctuation settings. Anyway, copying files across is far more reliable than letting software try to import it.
All the best

I don’t like the JAWS Migrate Settings thing because it doesn’t get everything.

Next week I will be getting a new laptop with Windows 11. Is there a easy way to move the Jaws settings to this new laptop? Thanks |

Hi Steve,
I've never noticed this before but, in Windows7 this Explore Utilities Folder option is not appear as it does in the same Jaws versions that it does in Windows10. I always assumed that if J2022, for example, would be the same no matter what Windows OS version it was installed to and capable of running the particular Jaws version.

Hi Steve,
Thank you very much for this shorter and much easier way. I've never gone to the ENU folder this way but, I'll be using your directions now! Thanks again.

Hi Mike,
Personally that's what I do, copy and paste tmy ENU folder in another computer but, when I don't know if someone has the skillset to do this it's kind of hard to explain. To get to the ENU folder you have to explain how to unhide the AppData folder and then access the Roaming folder...
I think you know what I mean.

I know exactly what you mean <grin>!! Brian Hartgen works in a world where he can assume his users have a certain level of knowledge beyond the basics; or that they wish to get to that level. Freedom Scientific cannot make those assumptions so they must stick to the recommendation of using the built-in algorithm that Jaws employs. What's good is that there are often multiple ways to accomplish the same end; and that's where lists such as this one and guys like Hartgen shine. |

Personally, I would do both. I would definitely not trust Freedom Scientific's recommended approach because the last time I did it that way the JAWS I was importing the settings into refused to import the settings.

Hi Don,
Two sets of steps below:
You export all your settings by going into the Jaws
context menu with, Jaws key + J, if you run Jaws from the system tray.
Then go to, Utilities / Import
/ Export settings submenu and press enter. Now arrow down to, Export settings..., press enter, now make sure that the, Export all settings radio button is selected. Tab to, next, press spacebar. You're now in a dialog to select a name & save location, but the file will already be named and the default location is the desktop, so tab to finish , press enter and all your settings for that Jaws version will be saved to the desktop. After you install Jaws just import this settings file. Mike From: Thabo Baseki
The following steps should get you all set. How to Export JAWS Settings from Your Laptop
