Are they being displayed?

By default, windows XP will hide the display thereof in windows explorer since it shows graphical icoms to represent file types to sighted users.

One of the first things I do on any new machine is go to windows explorer, navigate to something like C: drive, hit alt + T for tools menu, arrow up to and hit enter on options..., ctrl + tab to view tab, and on advanced items tree structure, look for something like hide file extensions for known file types, and make sure that this is turned off, then tab over to and hit space bar on apply button, and then tab around to look for a button related to applying the view to all folders, and hit space on that button, confirm that I do want it, and then tab to and hit space bar on ok button.

I generally also make sure it's displaying list view via view menu etc. before doing this as well FWIW.

Stay well

Subject: [Blind-Computing] NVDA Not Speaking File Extensions


I am setting up another XP machine, using the latest version of NVDA. I am finding that NVDA is not
speaking file extensions.  How can I get it to speak them?

Thanks,
Donnie
