No! This was true in XP as well. Andy

I agree it's this way for win 7, but almost sure in xp these weren't an issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Baracco, Andrew W" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2014 4:10 PM Subject: Re: [JAWS-Users] [EXTERNAL] Re: Desktop Themes For Win7, New Steps I think that for a blind user, it is very helpful to go through your sounds and make sure that there is a sound assigned to each event. In that way you will get confirmation that an action has been completed. By default, Windows does not assign sounds to many events, as the makers assume that you can see, and do not want or need such confirmation.

I don't know how it should take but, I can't imagine it taking more than a minute or 2. You might hear a slight sound when it has completed. Take care.

How do I make windows classic theme stick? Jim -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

If you have an Icon on the desktop highlighted / selected, Personalize, won't show in the context menu. HTH Take care.

It simply doesn't exist in my Win 7 program or what????? Inquiring minds need to learn... Thanks always. -----Original Message----- From: JAWS-Users-List [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Mike B.

Sorry, for any inconvenience I may have caused. 1. While on the desktop press, control + spacebar, to make sure that nothing is selected. 2. Open the context menu with the applications key or, shift + F10, arrow down to Personalize & press enter. 3. You will now be in the Themes Gallery. here the different themes are in columns & rows. To find the Windows Classic Theme, arrow down to Windows7 Basic, & right arrow 1 time to Windows Classic & press enter. Also, changing themes will probably change your Sound Schemes as well. So, you might have to alter your sound schemes to get the sounds you want. Take care. Mike This email was sent from my, iBarstool.
