Manually Install JAWS Scripts

All of the script files that are used by Jaws, are contained in a single folder on your computer.

For Jaws versions equal to or less than 5.10, this folder is usually identified by the following path:
C:\JAWS-x-\SETTINGS\ENU
(Where "-x-" stands for the selected version of Jaws)

For Jaws versions equal to or greater than 6.0, you can open your custom script directory by:

1. Open your Start Menu, then click Programs;
2. Open the JAWS-x- subfolder, then open the Explore JAWS subfolder;
3. Either click Explore My Settings, or Explore Shared Settings to open the desired script directory.

Important: The Explore Shared Settings link will open the script directory where all of the default Freedom Scientific script files are stored. This is not the recommended area to install your downloaded script files.

The "Explore My Settings" link will open the folder where all downloaded script files should be saved to prevent conflicts from occurring between scripts.

Since Jaws script files are not applications, they need not be executed beforehand to work correctly on your computer.

For instance, once the scripts have been saved in your Jaws script folder, they are immediately ready for use.

To install a set of JAWS scripts for immediate use:

1. Unzip the JAWS scripts into your "Explore My Settings" folder as previously described.

That's it... Pretty exciting ey?
