Windows explorer works fine for me, with either jaws or NVDA, and only thing
is I don't bother with any form of tree structure, since when I hit windows
key + E it lands in a list of drives, arrow around, hit enter on the one I
want to go into, same with folders, backspace key to move up one level,
etc., and only real settings change is that one of the first things I do on
any newly installed version of windows, including XP, is that set folder
view to list view, activate status bar off view menu, go to tools menu,
arrow up to folder options, ctrl tab to view tab, and on advanced settings
make sure file extensions are shown, etc. then hit space bar on apply
settings for all folders, and this works well enough for me then.
I am also running the windows7 basic theme in display themes, but not sure
how relevant that is to windows explorer, but it might be.
Stay well

Hi tom.
that is indeed a nice list of pros and cons, and it is true there are a
couple of features that would be useful, I especially like the sound of
full 5.1 sinse at the moment I'm working with virtual 3D sound, which is
fine, but probably not what it could be.
Just as another Ui question though, what about the desktop and windows
expllorer in windows 7? when I tried the system, this looked entirely
broken and hugely inconvenient for a screen reader, with random stuff all
over the place, no clear listed folder structure, and lots of weerd
buttons.
For instance pressing enter on a folder didn't seem to display it's
contents as in xp, it seemed to open it in yet another pain that I had to
tab too, and then give under each item some strange buttons to do various
things.
Is windows explorer really this bad in terms of access?
If this is so, then for me this is a major! con, sinse I use windows
explorer a great deal. yes, there is the search box, but I don't want to
be reliant upon that for everything.
All the best,
Dark.
