STEPS FOR: CREATING A JFW PROGRAM GROUP IN PROGRAM MANAGER, CREATING A JAWS ICON IN THE JFW GROUP, AND COPYING THE JAWS ICON TO THE STARTUP GROUP OF PROGRAM MANAGER If you installed JAWS from a dos prompt, then a JFW group was not created in Windows Program Manager. If you wish to create a JFW group and a JAWS program icon, then follow the steps presented below. STEP 1: CREATING A JFW PROGRAM GROUP a. Activate Program Manager. b. Press ALT+F to display the Files menu. Press N to choose the New Program Object dialog. c. Use your UP ARROW to select the New Program Group radio button. Press ENTER to display the dialog for creating the new program group. d. In the "description" edit field of the dialog type the UPPERCASE letters "JFW" and press ENTER. The group is immediately created and your selection cursor points to the new JFW group. STEP 2: CREATING A JAWS PROGRAM ITEM a. While your selection cursor still points to the JFW program group, press ALT+F to activate the Files menu and press N to choose the New Program Object dialog. The selection cursor should already be pointing to the Program Item dialog, so press ENTER to display the dialog. b. Fill in the dialog options as shown below. Program Description = JAWS (Use uppercase letters.) This is the text label that Program Manager will display with the JAWS icon. Command Line = C:\JFW\JFW.EXE This is the name of the JAWS program. If you did not install JAWS on the C: drive or in the \JFW subdirectory, then make changes as needed in this command. Working Directory = Leave this blank. Shortcut Key = [optional] If you indicate a shortcut key, then this key can be used to start JAWS from anywhere in Program Manager. Press TAB to move onto the OK button if you do not want a shortcut key, or press one of the combination of keys shown below to setup a shortcut key. The character can be any letter, number, or special character. If you just press a character key in the Shortcut Key box, then Program Manager automatically adds CONTROL+ALT in front of it. CONTROL+ALT+character CONTROL+SHIFT+character ALT+SHIFT+character CONTROL+ALT+SHIFT+character Run Minimized = [not checked] Leave this check box unchecked. c. The last step is to choose the OK Button to save your changes. The JAWS program item is immediately displayed in the open JFW program group. If JAWS is not already running, you can press ENTER to start JAWS. STEP 3: ADDING JAWS TO THE STARTUP GROUP Program items that appear in the Startup group of Program Manager are automatically loaded (started) every time Windows starts. If you copy the JAWS program item into the Startup group then JAWS starts when Windows starts. To do this, follow these steps. a. Use your PC cursor to point to the JAWS program item in the JFW group of Program Manager. b. Press ALT+F to activate the Files menu, and press C to use the Copy dialog. This dialog is used to copy program items from one group to another. c. Your selection cursor is placed at the top of a list that contains the names of all groups in Program Manager. Press DOWN ARROW until you find "Startup", and then press ENTER to choose this group name. The JAWS program item is immediately copied into the Startup group, and JAWS will then be started automatically when you next start Windows.
