Now it's bugging me, as it was a great addition for the blind and screen readers in general. Sheepish Grin.

I'm sure it'll come to me at some point. LOL.

It???s been a while, at least ten or more years-ago.

If it was introduced as far back as XP I don't have a clue. If it's on the Jaws-Users website I don't have a clue as to what it's called, but it's not under the, Utilities, heading as, Stascom, or at least my search didn't find it using the Stascom name on the Programs page.

Did this utility used to go by a different name? Perhaps in the old Windows XP days? I also think David had it up on the website under Windows Utilities. Am I correct?

Note: Don't use IE11 to access this link, but use any other browser. I couldn't get the webpage to open using IE11. https://www.stascom.co.za/stascom.html Take care. Mike. Sent from my iBarstool. Go dodgers! No one has more to say than the woman who says she doesn't want to talk about it. ----- Original Message ----- From: Victor Gouveia To: jaws-users-list@groups.io Sent: Friday, June 21, 2019 5:50 PM Subject: Re: [jaws-users] How to Have JAWS speech at Start-up and Shutdown Stanley, while the Jaws start message is mostly consistent, you???ll find the Jaws speech at Windows shut down is hit and miss. I know this as I???ve been using Jaws since 4.5, about fifteen years now. The only way I knew when Jaws was shutting down was when my computer shut down and Windows XP did it???s chime thing. Since then, what you described is hit and miss for me. For example, I just saved a draft of this message, re-started my computer and went back to the message, and I had no indication that my computer was re-starting, nor that Jaws was shutting down save for my computer fan whirring around in the background. That fan certainly is consistent, certainly not the Jaws speech at Windows shut down. Victor From: Stanley Haupt via Groups.Io Sent: Friday, June 21, 2019 8:10 PM To: jaws-users-list@groups.io Subject: [jaws-users] How to Have JAWS speech at Startup and Shutdown Hello Everyone: This is Stanley Haupt from Lehighton, PA. I have been using JAWS since Window-Eyes was discontinued. I started with JAWS 18, JAWS 2018 and JAWS 2019. On this list there has been some email discussion about having JAWS speak when starting and turning off your computer. I have the box check to start JAWS at the Log-in screen. The start JAWS box for all users is not checked. The final step is to run JAWS for this user always. It takes my computer fifteen seconds to start. JAWS says JAWS Professional. When I do Alt-f4 to shut down JAWS says JAWS for Windows. That message let???s me know that the computer has shutdown properly. I am the only one in the household who uses the computer.
