Hi Mike and all, If the confirmation message appears on the screen but JAWS is not saying it, perhaps it's helpful to know that in Windows 10 balloons was replaced with toasts, which like notifications in the Action Center are handled by the ShellExperienceHost process, too unstable like most UWP apps and areas, unfortunately increasing. JAWS 17 and newer have a verbosity setting concerning Windows 10 notifications, but it is not as accurate as balloon reading, which was being developed since Windows XP. If you have Windows 10 Pro, there's a group policy which allow to use balloons instead of new toast notifications. Press WINDOWS+R, type the following and then press ENTER: gpedit.msc In the three view go to User Configuration, Administrative Templates, Start Menu and Taskbar. When you reach Start Menu and Taskbar, tab to the list view. In the list view, find the following policy: Disable showing balloon notifications as toasts
Press ENTER to open properties of this policy, tab to the group of radio buttons and change from Not Configured to Enabled, and press OK or ENTER. When finished, restart the computer for this change to take effect. By the way, File Explorer and other system and third-party apps which previously shown balloons will do that exactly as in prior Windows versions, including JAWS ability to simulate a left mouse click. Hope it helps! -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List <jaws-users-list-boun...@jaws-users.com> On Behalf Of Mike B.

Whenever I want to eject / remove an external harddrive I click on the system tray icon, choose the device, and press enter on it, but Jaws doesn't report the following: Safe To Remove Hardware: The 'USB Mass Storage Device' device can now be safely removed from the computer. Can anyone tell me how to get Jaws to report the message above? Or, what setting is supposed to be activated to report the message above? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks mooy moocho. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sent from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree.
