I wrote to the list earlier, but I don't think it went through.
I'm on the hunt for a reasonably accessible programme for financial
tracking. I've toed with Microsoft Money and though I like its many
features, there are currently no scripts for the programme and its rather
inaccessible even with using the jaws cursor. On the other hand, money
talks is designed specifically for the needs of the blind, but its rather
primitive.
I also have access to quicken and I have no idea how the 2003 scripts will
react to a more current version.
Any thoughts or comments on this software would be much appreciated.
Have a great day.
Kerry

I want to thank you Stu for this excellent info for I've done changed
all except for my windows explorer and my msie, The menus still only have
the first letter only and the links as I press insert f 7 still no shortcut
keys can be used! I think in windows explorer the lists don't appear. I know
all is there, but not the way I am use to. Anymore info would be appreciated
if so thanks!

John,
The control panel should be in your start menu. It might be under
settings, but should be listed there someplace.
It may also be listed in the My Computer.
Once you get to the control panel, you will probably want to tab to,
switch to classic view and press your spacebar.

Are you talking about what drive your CD goes in or what drive to
install XP to?
If it is the CD, you would normally put that in the D drive.
If it the installation, the C drive is where it should be installed to.
