5.11 SHARING YOUR COMPUTER WITH OTHER
PEOPLE
Thunder is designed to always come on when you start your
computer but this may be irritating to others if you share your computer.
SWITCHING ON WITHOUT THUNDER
To prevent Thunder automatically starting whenever your computer is switched on,
do the following or ask your computer buddy to help:
WINDOWS VISTA OR LATER
Go to Ease Of Access by typing "ease" at the Start Menu. Go down to the "without
using screen" option and untick the Thunder option.
WINDOWS XP OR EARLIER
Go to the Start-up folder and remove Thunder. Next time you reboot your computer,
Thunder will not start automatically.
LAUNCHING THUNDER MANUALLY
If you share a computer with a seeing person and Thunder does not automatically
start, there are two ways you can make it easy for yourself. Thunder can be on the desktop or in the start Menu.
The chances are that in either case if you press the letter T once or twice, it will always take you to Thunder.
Then you can press ENTER and Thunder will start up.
PUTTING THUNDER IN THE START MENU
Go to Program Files and then to Sensory and the Thunder folder. When Thunder.exe
is selected, press the APPLICATION key and choose "pin to start menu" from the menu. Press ENTER.
If you don’t have an Application Key, use SHIFT F10.
PUTTING THUNDER ON THE DESKTOP
If your habit is to use the Desktop, then go to Program Files, sensory, Thunder
and Thunder.exe. Again use the Application key but this time choose to put a shortcut on the Desktop. Press WINDOWS
key D to be sure that the Desktop is in focus and speaking.
