keeping jaws focus on a link after page load

Hi all
I've got a situation where I have a link that causes a new browser window to open, on that window are 2 frames one showing search results. Keyboard focus automatically goes to the link for the first search result in the 2nd frame, but because it's a new page load, Jaws automatically starts reading, which then moves the focus off that first search result if you don't press the ctrl key quickly enough to stop jaws reading.
Other than modifying the jaws configuration to not automatically start reading on page load. Does anyone have any suggestions on what could be done here to stop jaws automatically reading and moving the focus?
