Hi Norman & All Fellow List Members, First; Because you can potentially lose data or damage the drive.
Second; There are no stupid questions on this list! The only stupid question, is the 1 that is not asked! There are over 600 members on this list, & to my knowledge not all of us together knows everything! The list members range from the very most basic of beginners to the very experienced & questions like this 1, is how the most basic computer users learn these important tidbits of information. Please forgive me if it sounds like I'm bitching , because I'm really not. I just happen to be 1 of the people that have asked these so called, " stupid questions ," & have learned a great deal about Jaws & the computer uses / functions since joining both of Mr. Ferrinns lists' & there are several other list members that are in the same boat as myself. Happy computering, take care.

I would greatly appreciate if someone could tell me whether there exists a JAWS keystroke to safely remove my USB thumb drive. Under Windows XP, one could go into the system tray via insert plus F-12 to get to the safely remove button. However, this does not work in Windows 7. Thanks for any help. cheers, Rob e-mail: [email protected] For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/ For answers to frequently asked questions about this list visit: http://www.jaws-users.com/help/
