I thought about that, but from what I remember when reading the documentation, hot spot clicker will only work if you already know the coordinates of the spot where you would like to click. As I described in my original post, I'm referring to areas on the screen where jaws can't seem to "see" icons that are actually there, so I need something that can pick up this jaws slack. With that said, I need a method by which I won't need a sighted person to help me at all when trying to find objects on the screen. In fact, if such a method existed, it seems as none of us would need anyone as much to tell us what is on the screen since we would only have to invent the wheel once and take this type of mapping and use it for other situations.

That is, when arrowing around some applications I have come across various objects that jaws can't seem to identify, yet, when I ask my wife if the graphic, icon, or object is on the screen, she says "yes." A perfect example is a slider bar I was trying to find on my thumb drive. I was given instructions to resize the portion of the thumb drive to be hidden, but I couldn't find the slider's arrow used to shrink the folder as I didn't want 50% of a 4 gb thumb drive encrypted. I asked my wife to place the mouse cursor on the arrow and I moved around and discovered that jaws couldn't read it. Jaws just said: "Blank." In other words, I'm asking if it is at all possible to write some sort of script or code that will take each and every graphic, icon, or object jaws cannot see and mark it with a unique character or string of characters so that jaws can see it in the future, then hit a hotkey to place these objects in a list view in order to manually label each object one by one. Basically, rather than having to hunt each item down all over the screen and label each one separately, I can write a custom label for each object all at once. Can any of this be done? If at least somewhat possible please give me a hint as to how to find these invisible objects.
