Robin,
The guides below may have more detail than you need, but I find them pretty good. Although they say they're for JAWS users, most of the stuff is applicable to any keyboard user. http://vip.chowo.co.uk/jaws-guides/ Steve From: Van Lant, Robin [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: 24 April 2014 17:43 To: GW-info List - GW Micro ([email protected]) Subject: Understanding the file management dialog boxes in Win 7 and Win 8.1 I recently moved to Windows 7 and work and Windows 8..1 at home. I had been on Windows XP in both places before that. I was very accustomed to how to navigate through the Windows Explorer, Open and Save dialog boxes in XP, but I'm struggling with how things are organized and the interface with the buttons across the top of the dialogs in Win 7 and Win 8.1. Can someone recommend a good summary of how best to navigate? I'm using WE 8.4. I first thought that it was best to 'declutter the screen by getting rid of the navigation pane, but I just added that back, realizing that there doesn't seem to be the look in drop down box at the top of the dialog any more. In the navigation pane, I'm not clear when I should go to libraries, Favorites, etc.. There also is something called a Name split button, so a single shift Tab doesn't' seem to take me right into the file list view anymore, rather I have to do it twice. The other day I was trying to get to my booksense to transfer files and I really bumbled along to find that in Windows 8.1. At work, we have network drives and I feel like I can't get to them nearly as easily as I could in XP. I used to be able to backspace while in the file list and it would move be backward through eh file structure. Now it seems that I can do that maybe once, but then it jumps be back to the level I was on. Believe me, I am creating desktop shortcuts to folders I use most commonly, but at work there are too many places I need to go, sometimes just once.
