Hi, Rick & Adrian, Try playing around with the, Customize this folder, option in the View menu. For example, I have a folder called, My Programs, & within this folder I have over 300 sub-folders. Well, I really can't explain how I got to the point of Jaws reporting how many folders...., but it was through this View menu option that I believe I got Jaws to report correctly. I'm not going to swear by it, because its been quite awhile ago, & a lot experimentation that got me where I'm at. So, it doesn't hurt to try , but make sure you retain /remember your prior settings so you can revert back to them in case I'm wrong. Take care.

Rick and LeDon, I also have a 64-bit Win7 machine. On my system, JAWS reports the details the way you and I would like when it comes to subfolders. For example, in Windows Explorer, JAWS will report the number of subfolders within a folder and the position of each subfolder within that list. the distinction between file and subfolder becomes apparent in the Win7 Music folder. I have subfolders identified by artist, and within each artist's subfolder may be more than one album subfolder. However, when I bring up a list of tracks, i.e., files, I get the behavior you report. (JAWS reports the main subfolders in Music weirdly, but that's another issue.) JAWS also reports number and position details in MS word 2010. However, if I'm not mistaken, Word treats what we think of as individual files (documents) as though they were subfolders. I say this because if you have more than one document open, you can close one of them with the alt-F4 close-window command without closing the Word application. I'm not sure this is helpful, but I do wonder if FS could find a solution in this disparity. I agree, I wish JAWS reported this level of detail consistently. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com] On Behalf Of Rick Justice Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2016 9:12 PM To: jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] File count in a folder Hi LeDon, You didn't say which version of Windows, or which version of Jaws you are experiencing this with. It doesn't seem to be a setting, at least not one I can find, but I have experienced this with Jaws 15 thru 17 on Windows 7 64-bit. I have notified Freedom Scientific about this in the past, but they have offered no solution. Rick Justice Tomorrow's another day, another way! and if tomorrow never comes, problem solved! ----- Original Message ----- From: "LeDon Becker" <led...@outlook.com> To: <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com> Sent: Thursday, March 17, 2016 6:59 PM Subject: [JAWS-Users] File count in a folder Before if I had a folder with six files in it jaws would report, file one of six. Or file two of six, or whatever it was. But now jaws just reports, one of one, no matter how many files are in the folder. How can I fix this so jaws will tell me how many files are in the folder and which one of these files I am pointing at?
