Re: [Blind-Computing] Send To, How To Add Folders / Places To It
hi,
just a quick addendum to this.
I myself send a shortcut to send to to the folder, this way if I want to add
something to the list of places I can send to all I do is make the
shortcut and then send it to send to, the next time I use the option my new
link is there.
been doing this for years now
on XP machines its in C:, documents and settings, {user name}, Send To.
on windows 7 (and probably vista), it's in, {user name}, C:, Users, [user
name}, AppData, Roaming, Microsoft, Windows, SendTo
take care,
elf

Default Options In The Send To Menu
Right click any file or a folder and select the Send To option from

[Blind-Computing] Door Prize Drawings
Hi All, Does anyone know of a way to perform door prize drawings in electronic format? I guess what I am asking. Is there any software you can use on a computer that is accessible with JAWS to use for drawings such at a large state convention? Looking for a way that would be more creditable than the old way of having names on a piece of paper and someone drawing the name from the bucket. Thanks in advance!
