We're going to talk about the windows system tray and how to access it.
Using jaws for windows.
The system tray is located in the right hand, lower corner of your screen.
You'll find various applications that are not in the altered tab order, but
are running on your computer there along with the volume control and the network
access and the clock and calendar, just to the right of the system tray.
Also.
Now you can get to the system tray by going to the desktop.
And tabbing forward and you would reach the system tray, but JAWS for Windows
has a great feature built into it.
Um, to bring up a list of what is in your system tray.
And there's a couple of ways to get there.
One is with the keystroke jaws key plus function
11.
So insert F 11 will bring up the list or you can use the voice assistant and just
say system tray and that'll bring it up.
Also.
I'll do that system tray
icon dialog box notification, Chevron one of 10.
So I have 10 items now let's come back to that.
When I did the voice assistant, I did the keystroke jaws key plus alt
holding those down, tap the space bar instead of doing the wake up command.
So I wake up the, um, voice assistant using a keystroke, and
then I just said system tray, and it brought up the system tray list.
Now it had 10 items.
And the first one was notification Chevron by default.
Uh, yeah, if you haven't changed anything around your system,
Dre, that's probably what you've got at the top of yours also.
And that's like an overflow area.
And if you click on that item, it's like a little up arrow, uh, in the
system tray, it brings up another.
Area where extra icons are seen.
I prefer to remove that turn off that Chevron notification
overflow area and have all my items show up in the system tray.
So the first thing I'm going to do is show you how to do that.
Now, remember it said I had 10 items in my list.
And one of them was that notification Chevron I'll press escape.
As they pull them.
You can follow along and do this on your computer.
If you press your windows key to open the start menu search box.
And type in the word select
And you'll hear that select, which icons appear on the task bar.
I press enter.
enter settings always show all icons in the notifications area button off.
And I want to turn that on hit the space bar and I'm done Alt F4.
So just to review that was easy.
Start menu type in select press enter and hit the space bar to turn that on.
Now, if I bring up my system tray, I'll do the insert F11 this time,
select the system tray icon dialogue.
So like the system tray icon list box dealt output, one of fourteen.
Now I have 14 items and we did not hear that Chevron notification
button, uh, for the overflow.
So that's a little bit about how this works.
Now, when you've got an item in your list, you can, uh, see that the
default button I'll do an insert E.
Is a right single click.
So if you just bring up that list and move to one of the items and
press enter it'll, it's like doing a right click on it, which pops up
a menu and let you access the item.
You can also do left single clicks or left double clicks.
There are buttons to do that in this dialogue.
If you tab forward, you'll find those.
So that's the system tray insert F 11, or use the voice assistant and just
say system tray, freedom scientific a Vispero brand to stay up to date on
