Hello. You need to show hidden files and folders to see all of the folders and files in the username folder. You need to go to tools/folder options and go to the next tab over and shift tab to the tree and hit s for show hidden files and folders and hit space to turn that on.
SA&G : Hi Joseph, : : I got the files for the scrip in the right place using your : instructions. I haven't tried the application yet to see if they : "took" : since I should be fresh to tackle it. : : As far as your instructions for JAWS and XP, WMP 11 is the only : player : installed on the machine. I'm not sure I'm finding the option to : change : file types and what to do with if I'm in the right place. I did find : something about file types under the tools and options. The only : thing I've : done with WMP 11 is to burn a couple of CD's and that was before the : new : hard drive was installed and it might need to be configured to work : best : with JAWS. I did find an item in the menus for classic menus and : things are : now slightly more familiar, but I really have no idea what I'm doing : in the : program and things are messed up enough now, so any detailed : instructions : would really be appreciated to avoid fouling things up even more. : : Thanks, : : Margaret : : : "Joseph Lee" wrote: : : : Hi Margaret, : 1. Script installation: : a. Find the script files (everything) then copy it to clipboard : (CTRL plus c). : b. Go to Start Menu/Programs/JAWS 7.1/Explore/Explore My : Settings. You should land at the location where JAWS has script : files. : c. Press CTRL plus v to paste the script files. : You should restart JAWS before the scripts can take effect. : 2. XP Home and JAWS: the information presented here is accurate. : Follow it and you should use JAWS efficiently. : 3. File association: this problem is caused by what's called : "file association" issue i.e. to associate a file type with a : program. Go to the program which the wave sound (wav) was : registered as file type (possibly Winamp). Go to the location : where you can see settings for that media player and you should : see an option to change file types. Check to see if wav is : checked. Or you might want to reinstall this media player and it : should work from there. : Cheers, : Joseph : :> ----- Original Message ----- :>From: "Margaret Thomas" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] :>To: "jaws-users" <jaws-users-list@jaws-users.com :>Date sent: Wed, 12 Sep 2007 20:48:10 -0400 :>Subject: [JAWS-Users] Items Disappeared from Desktop : :>Hi All, :> I went to install some JAWS scripts this afternoon and : discovered that a :>whole slew of items are missing from my XP Home with SP2 desktop. : :> The path should be : :>C:\Documents and Settings\Margaret\Application Data\Freedom :>Scientific\JAWS\7.10\Settings\enu : :> All there is in Margaret is : : :>Desktop :>Favorites :>My Documents :>Start Menu : :>none of which belong there.
