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

  Harry's suggestion hidden at the very end of his message below reminded me 
that what I wrote
didn't actually work.  Instead, the thing that actually restarted JAWS is 
what's far below: go to the Desktop by
pressing the Windows key and alt+m (or control+escape and M), then pressing 
J once (or more times if the
version of JAWS you want to start isn't the first one listed on the 
Desktop), and then Ehnter.
