If you want jaws to tell you how many items are in a folder, go to configuration manager, settings, then verbosity, once there go to advanced preferences, and arrow down until you get to position information, check this box and Jaws will then tell you how many items are in a folder. Hope this helps.

I don't think he cared for it much, but my daughter says some of the menus and the control panel resemble XP. I am right now using a computer--hopefully temporarily--with Windows 7. Some blind people say it works similar to XP but I don't see how. And keeping this on the topic of Jaws, I find that Jaws has a hard time giving us detailed info in Windows 7. I will warn anyone who tries it that the folders are a nightmare, but another Jaws user did give me a fix for this--although Jaws still won't read exactly how many items a folder has. The control panel in 7 is set up with links, and I find it very hard to find what I need to find. And if your computer is a 64-bit, I don't think Jaws scripts have been made for programs like Winamp that I used with ease in XP. F.S. is trying to keep up with these new programs, but I think they're either too graphical or just too hard to get around, and F.S. is doing all they can. I will say that this machine with Windows 7 does a great job surfing the Net. In XP using Internet Explorer 7 it looked like many sites were Jaws-inaccessible. But Windows 7 and Internet 8 seem to work well for working with websites. But it's the off-line features of Windows 7 that I wish could be changed, or at least a more blind-friendly or classical-menu-type setup should come out for us. -------------------------------------------------- From: "Rick Justice" <[email protected]> Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 4:50 AM To: <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] window 7 and vista > Hi Kimsan, > Windows 7 is really nothing more than a stripped down version of Vista. > If I were forced to move to a new operating system from Microsoft, > it would certainly not be Vista. > So far, my computing experience with Jaws 11 and Windows 7 has been less > than desirable. > It's a shame that companies these days will ruin a decent product in the > name of money. > HTH, > Rick Justice > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Kimsan" <[email protected]> > To: <[email protected]> > Sent: Wednesday, November 18, 2009 12:10 AM > Subject: [JAWS-Users] window 7 and vista > > > So with vista out and window seven out.
