Hi Flor, I've tried focusing on the file with the Jaws cursor & I don't know just how many diferent keystroke options. I tried having both the source & destination folders open in their own windows as well as in the same window & get the same message.
*The object to be dragged cannot be found. It may be covered by another window, Drag & Drop has been cancelled.* The hell with drag & drop! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL I'm not too far from that abnormal state normally & don't need anything dragging me closer to it! Pardon the pun! LOL, hahaha hahaha hahaha, LOL Thank you very much for your input. Take care.

Note mention that the JAWS cursor "must be pointing to the object to be dragged". that is not always a given. You can't just drag and drop items from one folder to another: they (the folders) have to be visible to each other (as I understand or misunderstand it). So, if you didn't already, route JAWS to PC, and then... if you wanna... try again! LOL. I much rather cut-and-paste. Now, if you would like to add a refinement to the torture, beforehand turn on "the JAWS cursor will follow the PC cursor" by pressing ctrl+Insert+NumPadMinus: Pressing those keys a second time will turn that off, which is the normal or default mode. (Else, leaving that setting on will drive one abnormal.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mike B." <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 01, 2013 6:19 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] Dragging & Dropping > Hi Maria & Tom, > > Thank you very much for your replies.
