If you go to start (Windows key), tab once, hit C(for Computer etc) twice, Enter and you are in Computer. Here you find your partitions C: \ , D: \ and dvd rom, usb nodes. Here, if you tab until you here Desktop - you can use right arrow, down arrow when on the desktop and computer do not WE speak at the moment. Do not think Jaws do either. No problem. You get to theese in Control panel etc.
If you tab until you hear Organize, right arrow, down arrow are spoken. Enter works. If you are in your partition C: \ for example, Tab to Organize, right arrow to New Map, hit enter works. BUT, when you do the same in the Save as window, the save as window closes and nothing is saved. You can use the WE mouse though. Very very irritating. You can also save without making a new map, no problem. The same when using Jaws..(30 minute trial) If you open word for example, it shows an icon on the task manager. If you then hit Winoows Key + M, tab twice, use right arrow, your open programs will be spoken and maps. If you have a laptop, you can right click, up arrow to attach to task manager(?) i believe its called in English and hit Enter. You can chose to have different program attached. So, they are there always when you restart your computer until you unattached them. Some kind of short cut. Otherwise W7 is working good. Hit Window key and type a path in search and if the path is right it will open. Hit Window key and tab, hit C once or twice again and you are in computer with your partitions. Open partitions and make a map structure A, B, C, D, E and so on. You put Adobe Reader in A. Boring in B, Clue in C, driver in D and so on. Its working(W7) You can make, or maybe not make, but burn ISO files in W7. Maybe the back up feature works, if you do it right. Its all accessible. I did not understand the basic about backing up, so i did somthing really stupid. But the built in backup may work just fine. I bought another backup program bechause i was really stupid (smile) first. Hit Windows key and the start menu opens, arrow up once to all programs, hit enter, arrow up to find your programs, right arrow to open sub folders of your programs, arrow down or up again to the parent map to close with left arrow. So, when you get used to this and the above, it is no problem to run Windows 7 compared to XP with a screen reader.

I have to experiment more to understand what you were suggesting in the second part of your note. Thank you for the help.
