No worries, Bud. It's a Window-Eyes verbosity setting. Any time you want to have WE speak the word star in password edit boxes, do the following:
Control backslash to open the WE control panel. Alt E to put focus on the settings tree view. Press the letter v to land on Verbosity. Right arrow, down arrow to common, then down arrow to miscellaneous. Shift tab (It's fewer keystrokes.) to the speak the word star in password edit boxes radio buttons. Choose yes to make WE say the word star; choose no to make WE echo the actual password characters. Press Control S or tab to the save settings button. Escape key to close the WE control panel.

I don't know what started it but it's consistent now and does it all the time. I like it in a way as I can tell if I have mistyped anything, but I'm concerned that my security may be involved. Any ideas? Thanks., Bud Schwab W 6 Z Y P Malibu, California If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
