Max, I think you have all the pieces of the puzzle but they arrived in various explanations. When you are in the start menu and you type in something in the search box, the results are in the form of a list of matches without regard to where they came from for the mostpart or without any sort of tree view. Pressing ENTER on any of those results will generally execute the particular item.
Before you type anything into the Start Menu Search box, you can SHIFT TAB once or tab around the other way until you get to the "All Programs" button. You can press that button by pressing SPACE. When you push that button, it changes to a "Back" button, although Window-Eyes doesn't say that for me automatically but I can verify it with CONTROL NUMPAD 5 or the Speak Summary key. Now, if you SHIFT TAB, you will be on the tree view that people talked about. Focus seems to start at the bottom. For me, it is on the Windows Live branch and it is closed. You could find yourself right on the Window-Eyes branch, if you don't have a Windows Live branch, or you could have something completely different depending upon what you have installed. However, if you press the UP ARROW, you should get to the Window-Eyes branch pretty quickly. Pressing the RIGHT ARROW key will open the branch. ENTER coes nothing when the branch is closed. Once it is open, you can press DOWN ARROW to move through the choices, Window-Eyes, Advanced Options, and Documentation. You will notice that Advanced Options and Documentation both say "Closed" indicating that they are sub-branches that have additional options if opened. This is different in a number of ways than going into a folder on the old start menu, but the most obvious is if you DOWN ARROW or UP ARROW past the end or beginning of the Window-Eyes group, you will see the rest of the original tree. If you navigate to Advanced Options and then press RIGHT ARROW, you will see both the Install and Uninstall Java Access Bridge entries along with Virtual Channel maintenance. How you get there is a personal choice. However, by exploring the tree, I have found entries that I wouldn't have known to search for on my own. I hope this pulls some of it together, and please understand I may not have all of the terms right. Best regards, Steve Jacobson On Mon, 22 Jul 2013 13:49:44 -0500, Max G.
