Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating a new folder
Hi Linda, The FN key can be disabled so the the, F1 thru F12 keys, work normally, but you'll need to do a search for your exact laptop model for the steps. From what I've read in the past about HP laptops this needs to be done in the bios which will require sighted help since Jaws won't work in the bios. Take Care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

One of the problems I have had with this computer, an HP laptop, is that they have assigned the function keys to their icons of their own choosing. I have figured out how to get around that by using the key between the left windows and control keys. However, every once in a while, I will hit the function key without the other key and make a real mess. This is the case with the darn mute button under F6 and I will get that key pushed and wonder why jaws is not speaking. Anyway, thanks for helping me. So as you can tell, I do try to fix my problem before crying help. Linda -Original Message- From: JAWS-Users-List On Behalf Of Mike B.

Re: [JAWS-Users] Creating a new folder
I have the latest version of windows 10, 1803. When you first open your Documents folder, nothing should be selected. JAWS should say, not selected before it says the name of the first folder. You have several choices as to how you create a new folder. 1. Press control-shift-n and JAWS should say new folder. You're in the edit box to type the folder's name. Type it and press enter. 2. Press the application key and arrow to new, submenu. Press enter to open the menu. You should be on folder. Press enter and type the new name. Press enter.. 3. Press the alt key and tab once. It should say, properties. Tab again and it should say, new folder button. Press enter. If you want an even quicker way, from Documents, with nothing selected, press alt and the 2 on the top row of the keyboard. Together, not sequentially. Smile. This will put you in the edit box, ready to type the folder name. HTH.
