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.

>> Hello All:

>> Secondly, I copied the JAWS shortcut from under the all programs->JAWS

>>
>> Does anyone have any other suggestions, or, can you tell me if what I'm
