JoAnne,
First, go into your folders and set it to lists. If you have it in details,
it will read things like file size, date created, etc.
As for you hear things like files, favorites, etc. it sounds like you might
have either set Jaws to Say All instead of read highlighted, or you might be
reading with your Jaws cursor instead of the virtual cursor.
Oh, as an aside, you can set up the detailed view of your folders only to
show you the information you want. Do that by going to view and customize
details.
Steve

Subject: [JAWS-Users] asked this before but need to explain more/jaws
12saying too much after a list item
I really hope someone who knows how to use this new type of configuration
manager in Jaws 12 might know how to set verbosity up right. With
verbosity supposedly on advanced--although I can't really confirm this with
the new config manager--Jaws is speaking things after list items in a
folder that I don't need spoken. Verbosity says Jaws short message, but
when going through a list I hear different things spoken after the items.
I may hear something like, the name of a song or show or something, and
after the name it may say file menu tools, favorites, etc. Or instead of
saying file menu, etc., it will say the size and length of the item listed
and how many items are selected. I do use my insert 3 sometimes when I
want to read a status line, but I don't know why so much is spoken after
the selected item. I just want it to say the name and one of 23 or
whatever, like version 10 did. Is there a fix?
And on a side note, is there any way I can revert back to a more familiar
configuration like earlier versions had?
Thanks.
