Sorry about that. I was referring to the overall System preferences, not
the finder preferences. You can reach the System Preferences in a number
of ways. Once is to go to the Apple menu (VO-M and then down-arrow to
System Preferences) or another way is to go to the dock (VO-D) and type
SY which will move focus to the first match of the letters S and Y,
which should be System Preferences, and hit enter or a third way is to
use spotlight by hitting command-space to search for stuff on your
computer and then type System and the first results should be System
Preferences. Probably some other ways as well :)
If you get stuck again just ping back :)

OK, I can't get to the users and groups cause when I do command , on the finder
screen, I don't see users and groups.
also, this screen happens about every other time I turn on my computer so I
don't know what's going on.
Could you be a little more specific, cause I'm still pretty new at this.

Which screen are you talking about, the authentication login screen? If so you just need to go into the
System Preferences and then Users& Groups, the 4th set of preference buttons under System. Once in
there go to the Users, Groups and Login Options list. Login Options will be the last item in the list.
If you VO-right from there you'll find Automatic login, which defaults to Off. You won't be able to
change it because this pane is locked. To unlock you'll have to go to the very end of the window where
you will find a "click the lock to make changes" button. So that and answer the password
prompt. Go back to the automatic login location and you'll find a popup with has choices of
"Off" or one of the accounts on your machine. If you change it to one of the accounts on your
machine then every time you startup it will drop you right into that account. Of course this isn't as
secure but it's quite handy.
Hope this was what you were looking for.

Hi,
I know a couple of people have called to help last week but with some health
problems and the emotional stress of having to retire, and then give up my
guide dog, I just haven't had the strength to deal with a phone conversation.
Please tell me what to do with that horrid screen. It happens every other time
I turn my computer on, and to get it to go away I have to manually turn my
computer off and then turn it back on to get it to go to the desktop.
I know there is a way to get past that screen, someone told me via email a long
time ago, but I can't remember it now.
HELP!

Hi all.
I've been doing some messing around in system preferences in the keyboard
section and wow have I really sped up keyboard performance.
Slide the sliders for both "Key repeat" and "Delay until repeat" to 100%. You
will see a big improvement in keyboard navigation. I really noticed this on one of the web sites
that I visit that has no headings or other navigational elements to make navigation quicker. I was
able to hold down VO right arrow, and just zip through the page.
I'm hoping that this might translate in to better gaming performance in my
virtual machine but I'm not holding my breath.
Well, I just thought I'd share this tip with you all. I'd be interested to know
other areas that speeding up the keyboard helps.
Kind regards,
Matthew Campbell.
