[gui-talk] changing settings in I.E. 8 to remember my user name

Thu Mar 27 15:40:14 UTC 2014

Good morning Sherri, Mike,

Likely you need to allow cookies for the website in which you want to permanently store a given web sites passwords. There are different methods that browsers and sites interact with each other. Many sites require the use of Persistent Cookies to save passwords. Not all sites require the use of Cookies to save passwords. 

Please see: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/block-or-allow-cookies.

"What are Persistent cookies?"

"Persistent cookies (or saved cookies) remain on your computer after you close Internet Explorer. Websites use them to store information, such as a sign-in name and password so that you don't have to sign in each time you go to a particular site. Persistent cookies can remain on your computer for days, months, or even years."

Although IE 11 is out I would highly recommend not installing any version above IE 10. Although IE 11 is the latest and greatest, there are many websites and services that it does not work with. Frankly I only use IE for sites that require it. I much prefer Google Chrome or Firefox. 

JAWS 15.0.8021 (March 2014) fixes some issues with IE 11; however, caveat emptor. 

The choice is critically dependent on what screen reader you are using. I am on a MAC and use Voice Over and therefore I tend to use Safari the most. I also use Chrome a lot for sites that struggle with IE. 

I have a Windows 7 and Windows 8 virtual workstations running under VMware Fusion. I am using Window Eyes on them. I also use it on all of my servers so I can use Window Eyes remotely from my workstation to the servers.
