Re: How To Get JAWS To Run at Windows Login Prompt

I find that I can get JAWS started after a sighted person has shut it off by 
going to the Start menu with control+escape (or the Windows key), pressing J 
(or perhaps J more than once if the version of JAWS that I want isn't the 
first one listed), and then pressing enter (or maybe pressing enter twice).
